Re: [Gramps-users] Question about Website Generation

[Danuvius <dan...@gm...>]

Dear Brian,

This does make a fair bit of sense.  (Thanks for everybody else's
contributions too!!)  And, of course, works great.

I guess I find it slightly less elegant, but I suspect this method is
more powerful in the end.

Thanks!

At first you lived with your bilolgical mother and biological father, but later you lived with your biological mother and step father. My advice is to add yourself to both families in Gramps. In one family, you have a "Birth" relationship to both parents. In the other family, you have a "birth" relationship with your mother, but a "step-child" or "adopted" relationship with your step-father. Then, your name will show up along side your half siblings in all the reports (the way it should be in my opinion).
