Its not a good program for non "ordinary" records.You would need to add an unknown partner for the mum to add the child born

Hi Brenda,
I have had this too, but obviously the child would have been 'fathered', so in the mothers partner/father bit I've just put 'unknown' and the date of birth about the same as the mother.
Then you will have the ability to put in a child.
