Step-child in Descendant Chart

[Bill Guion]

In a descendant chart, are step-children shown any differently than biological children?

In my family view, I have been able to add step children to a marriage and change the child status to step. So it becomes clear that the children are biologically related to one parent but not the other. But in the descendant chart, I don't see any indication that the children are step. Am I missing something?

No, when a person is linked to parents, the chart editor doesn't have a way to make distinctions between types of parents. In the chart editor, you can manually edit the color of the box fill or outline color and/or add text to the box to provide this kind of information.

Tim,

Thanks. I guess the good news is, I didn't do anything wrong. The bad news is, that's all the good news.
