When
translating
the new entries of the version 2014.04.10 dictionary I noticed two groups of tags that have been introduced - I believe - in version 2013.09.22
<ChildIllegitimate_*
and
<ChildNatural_*
As far as I know, and according to both Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, illegitimate and natural mean the same thing: "
born
of parents not married to each other".
Could you clarify the situations where you would use the one or the other so that I can translate correctly?
I presume that in Genopro "natural" is meant to be "biological" or "not
adopted
". Is this what was intended?
Regards,
Nand

To be honest when a request was made to add this I had not heard of the word 'natural' being used to describe a child born 'out of wedlock' and looked it up.
I can well understand why
families
would not want a relative to be described as illegitimate as this word suggests unlawfulness when there is nothing unlawful
about
having a child when not married and so I am happy to have 'natural' as an alternative.
I therefore suggest it is left to the family
researcher
to decide which if any of the two adjectives are used to qualify the
pedigree
. In earlier
years
only illegitimate would have been used but in this modern age it is good to have a another way of putting it but I am not sure how many readers will understand what is meant by a 'natural child'.
Note that these adjectives only appear in a
report
when the Pedigree
Link
custom tag
'Qualification' has been used.
