Half siblings not showing up correctly

[gregm65 0]

Firstly, where are all the topics for ver. 6? I only see 2.

 

Let me explain the relation first. My father has an older first cousin who was adopted by my father's uncle. When my father's biological father passed away, this cousin who was adopted married my father's mother. They had additional children together.

 

When I look at the details page, it lists the additional children as my father's siblings. I tried to create an adoptive relationship between the cousin who was adopted and my father since he became my father's step-father.

 

When I ran the kinship report, it does not list the half-siblings as siblings, but rather as first cousins once removed, even though they share the same mother.

 

In the descendancy narrative, rather than saying x was adopted by y, it says instead that x and y were adopted.

 

Obviously, I must have entered something wrong here. Can anyone tell me how I correct this so that my father's half siblings show up as same?

There are close to 2000 topics in the TMG6 forum. At the bottom right of the TMG6 screen - and other forum screens - there is a setting (drop-down list) for how many days of messages will be shown. To see all messages, the option should be set to 'Show All' as in the attached screenshot:

Adoption is an issue for data entry in a genealogy program that is designed to deal with genetic parents, not simply family relations. You can do it, but you have to decide how you want your report output look. You might search the forums using the term "adoption", and you will get lots of ideas. I have created custom tags to deal with adoption as I describe in the Sentence Forum here.

 

Hope this gives you ideas,
