Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 524 Send Message	My great grandmother was fostered in 1889 so I suspect her biological mother might be right so I want to add her name in my family tree and hope someone would contact me about the mother. I have tried to add my great grandmother's biological mother in my family tree but seem not right. She had fostered parents. How to add it in my family tree?

	The only way that I know is to add the mother as a partner to the foster father. Explain what you have done in the notes. You could even add unknown father to the mother which then allows you to switch between foster and biological in "edit".
