Member Since: July 2010 Posts: 44 Send Message	Hello there Is there a way of adding a son on to my tree without adding his father? I would like him just to appear as the mothers descendent. Tracey

	You will need to give the mother another spouse. You can just call him "unknown" if you want to, and then add the child. Kath. x

	You can just put something on like "living" or "xyz"
