Member Since: August 2009 Posts: 771 Send Message	How do I add a half brother to my family tree? My father died and then my mother had another child without marrying the father. If I go into my family tree and click on my own name and add a sibling then it automatically comes up as a child of my father. Any advice please?

	You need to add another "spouse" to your mother - even though they didn't marry - before you can add the child to them. Kath. x
