Another question re adoption

Post by davidm_uk » 24 Jan 2011 16:34

I've added a person where I know both birth parents and adoptive parents, and the person was renamed upon adoption. After a couple of false starts and some playing around I've ended up with the following:

I have the adoptive parents appearing both under the adoption fact AND as a second set of parents. Is this correct, or should they only appear under the adoption fact, or is it just open to personal preference?

It is partly personal preference.

If do not add the adoptive parents as a second set of parents then FH cannot create a family tree diagram with the adoptive parents linked to the child.
