Actually TMG does not output non-Primary Relationships. Primary
Relationships may be biological or non-biological. Thus a
step-child's Primary Father would normally be the biological father
and a step-Father Relationship Tag would be non-Primary. Thus only
the biological Father would print in reports. But if the intent was
to include the child within the family of the step-Father then you
would make the step-Father Relationship Tag to be Primary (the
biological Father would then be non-Primary) and the step-Child would
print in report as if the child was the biological child of the
step-Father, and would not print in the report of the biological Father.

Hope this helps -
