I would only have them in the tree once,with their birth names and parents. |

Hi:: The children in question had a mother and father. The father died and she married her second husband. The second husband legally adopted them and they took his name. I have them listed under the first father with his last name and the last name of the 2nd. father. Should this be left that way or can you put them under both fathers. Hope this explains better what I am trying to do. |

I have a 2nd. marriage where the husband adopted his 2nd wife's children and they changed their last name to his. Her first husband passed away. I have put them under the original mother and father's name but also showing the new last name. |
