I have just bothered to view my tree, on the new tree format on this site, for the VERY FIRST TIME!!!!...... Was amazed to see that my two children appear to be the the kids of my first and second husband, but have no biological mother!!! .... I am hardly mentioned, stuck out on a line over to the right.......When I clicked on one of the children everything is fine, but it really does look strange: Their line of descent appears between the two men on the tree..........What fun this site is lol....Happy Hunting - Merry x

Merry, I had the same thing. I had to go back and delete them and then re-attach them to the mother. You might need to delete and re-attach the fathers too.

who the devil wants to re-attach to an ex husband! Just goes to show that children produced of the relationship between two men could lead to children.Didn't you notice them carrying on together? Jess

Well said Jess. My children have the right parents when you click on them, it's just when first entering the tree (via my own name, obviously) Hmmm....wonder what happens if I do the same view, but go in via my hubbys addy and password as he has separate membership of the site..... Shall I wake him up? He is slumped in front of his screen, apparently ''listening'' to a boring video about dinosaurs. Hey, maybe he has got that far back on his tree and not told me??? There is certainly a physical resemblance! I shall call him triceratops in future! Merry
