When I click on the vertical line for a child I can see the pedigree and selected biological, but when the female gets re-married, how do I show a stepchild relationship, when the new male.  I hope this makes sense, I would have assumed that I create a new link then in the pedigree drop down there would be a stepchild choice

You are right, for each of the male-female realtionship there could be a parent child relationship. For the link itself there are two options, foster child or an adopted child.

This issue have been discussed earlier on the forum...

You are bringing a good issue about stepparents and stepchildren. If one parent does re-marry to another spouse, then the children are implicitly "adopted" by the other spouse, however an explicit link is better. GenoPro will have the "household" object describing what individuals are living under the same roof. This may be a partial solution to describe your situation, however "step child" link would be more descriptive.

I have been toying the idea of adding several new pedigree links, including "adopted by father", "adopted by mother", "possible child", and perhaps "step child". The reason this has not been done is because I have a long list of features to add to GenoPro. I give priority to features I am confident will provide a good value to GenoPro, leaving me more have time to find solutions to complex problems I don't have a clear fix.

This is a known issue and I am still looking for solutions.  All suggestions are welcome.

I don't have stepchildren within my tree, so I'm not sure how Report Generator is resolving it, but I guess it writes complete families for both links...

Shouldn't it be regulated with "adopted by father" link in a way that report then says for a person... "biological child of x and y, divorced, step child of z"?!

I don't think there should be an additional link to indicate step-children.  It should be caluculated and displayed by the report generator.  If a woman had children with one man... divorced... then remarried another man... unless the children were adopted, they would be assumed to be step-children.  These children will ALWAYS be the biological children of the first man.  I have some of these step children in my tree.

1. I show the biological parents with one link
2. I show the divorce of those parents in their marriage link
3. I create the new marriage link to the new spouse
4. I create a second link from that child object.  An adopted link from the child to the new marriage link

Simply my two cents worth...

But it leaves bug in Report Generator:

Situation is:

A married B had a son C;

B remarries to D who adopts C.

Everything is right but;

In report for D

it says B and D had son C...

And in report for B

He/she had two marriages

First family

They had son/daughter C

Second  family

They had son/daughter C

Here are the sample files.

Situation temporarily might be resolved by deleting relationship in privacy options as in test1...

Just lookup for CC s marriages when you create a report...
