    Hartymarty,

    Just another user here, learning and seeking help from others also on this public community message board that all can view.

    It is good you've kept up to date on your family's part of the tree; and added two records for your father over the years in the process. smile. An easy quick fix to get your family to show the 2 children by a "housekeeping" step of merging what are called "duplicates". Will complete the computer housekeeping step for you next.

    all the best.

    There is also another good article which gives good instructions on correcting parent-child relationships.
