    Adoptive child - show birth mother

    I have a situation where a young girl was adopted in about 1906 and is showing up in the adopted parents card. I have also found her biological mother and her new spouse and have entered all into Reunion.

    How do I correctly show this girl in my records?

    When I click on her name she appears with her new (adopted) parents. Clicking on the red downward button comes up with a choice and I choose parents which shows; Adopted parents. Is this correct or should I be doing something else?

    I should add that I have her biological mother & father which appear as an Island, which I would like clear.
    They are linked but still show a an island.

    Can anyone guide me please?

    Hi Alan-I am not sure this suggestion is the best but I am using the Connection link more and more. Look in the manual under Connections and see if that would work in your situation.

      Thank you for your help. The question of trying to remove this adopted person as an island seemed to resolve itself after I did a restart. The person is shown under her mother/father? and adopted mother..
      I will study in more detail the Connections from the manual.

        Sometimes just a restart solves an issue. I have to remind myself of that when I am having problems. Glad it worked for you!
