Subject: [ROOTS-L] Children whose parents are not married
Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2010 15:07:49 -0500


I know many of you genealogists have had to deal with this complication but
I've not figured out how to deal with this with my Family Tree Maker
program. The system seems to only handle married parents for a child but
more and more, we find children whose parents never marry and if one of the
parents does marry someone, the non-parent may not want to have the child
listed under their tree or the parent of that marriage wants both of the
child's parents included but does not want any clue indicating there was a
marriage. I suspect there must be something built into the system to deal
with these situations but I have not discovered it at this point. HELP!
