Member Since: November 2007 Posts: 34 Send Message	Hi, Can anyone tell me how I can show my mother's natural family and also her adoptive family on my Genes Reunited tree. Currently I have her real mother as her 'mother' but her adoptive father in the 'father' box. I don't really want to leave it like this, as it is misleading to anyone who might view my tree. Any suggestions? Many thanks. Suzy
