I'm trying to see how to put another "leaf" on an another spouse connected to the original couple. Is there any way to do this? _________ | |---------------- | Dad |----------| | ---------------- | | | | ___________ | | | | | | | Mom (dead)|--------| | ------------------ | | ------------------ | | | | | "new" Mom |--------------- ----------------- Stephen Clingerman ste...@mc... --------------------------------------------------------- “Regardless of what politicians promise to gullible voters, government services cannot ultimately escape the constraints of supply and demand.

Stephen, I had a similar question when I first started using Gramps. The solution is just to create a new Family reusing the Male and (presuming you haven't already created her) creating a new Female. So, in the Relationship Graph, you'll see two lines heading down from the Male. Use the same tactic for foster & adopted children and when the child is illegitimate.

I would add a fostered or adopted child to an existing family, if the parents were the same. When you do so, the relationship details ('birth', 'adopted', etc) can be entered in the editor which pops up. An illegitimate child of the same family is just another child. Relationship to father and mother need not be the same. You might have, for example, 'Relationship to Father: Birth', but 'Relationship to Mother: Foster'. In the absence of documentation, I wouldn't assume that a spouse is indeed a foster parent, even if dates coincide. In general, a family in Gramps is what you would expect: some set of parents having some set of children in common. You can also treat two individuals without children as a family. An individual can be parent or child in any number of families. M. |
