Here is one I am not sure how to properly display.
A child or two is born to parents who subsequently divorce. The mother re-marries and has additional children. Then the step-father adopts the children from the spouses previous marriage.
I can show a biological link between the children and the marriage, and an adopted link between the children and the new marriage. And the biological link between the "new' children and the current marriage. However, when the GedCom is produced and uploaded to RootsWeb it shows neither parent has having children.
On RootsWeb: The "Pedigree" for the adopted child will include the adopted father, but the 'Decendency' of the adopted father does not show any children. And the 'Pedigree' of the natural child will include the father, but the decendency of the father will not show the children. Same is true for the mother.
Hard to track since these are living persons, and GedComs go to RootsWeb... I must be doing the links wrong. Or it's just how RootsWeb handles the file. Any suggestions?

Can you send me a sample Gedcom file with the problem. I will look at it.

I created a family with 2 children; divorced the mother and remarried her; new husband adopted the children (makes me sound all powerfull!)
Exported gedcom and imported to free version of PAF
This shows children of both marriages and also links them to the adopted father, so GenoPro gedcom export is working.
If the children were still alive but parents had died, this might be source of the problem as some sites will not accept data for living people. (I found that out uploading a tree where I had only classified people as having died where I had a death record - I now classify anyone over 100 as dead)

I am having trouble showing the same type of relationship, only my files are imported from anywhere (this is my first gen. software). When I link a child to be adopted by the step-father, it removes the link to the bio-father. How do I do this correctly?

| Are you sure? Maybe links are one above the other... In either way try right-click on a person, and select link as a child, then you can edit the link (select, enter ...). Before that make sure there is a single chil/parent link.

How do I do this correctly?VLo is quite right...if the links are superimposed on one another you will be able to verify that by looking at the report of one of the children. Double click on a child (or bring up the properties how ever you normally do it) and select the Report tab. Listed as the Father you will see both the bio father and the adopted step father. If so simply move the link off of each other.

Thanks! I got it to work. Too bad it's a little to complicated for Auto Arrange to make look pretty. My tree is a little spread out and the adopted link drags across it quite a ways, but no prob.
