Can a biological line be added to a living person when they have a adopted line already in FS

William Lloyd Peterson

A person who is living has a tree in FS but it is the adopted line with all LDS ordinances completed and linked for many generations. He just found his deceased biological father and mother and would like to start a "biological" line in addition to his adoptive line in Family Search. Is that possible.

Absolutely! What they would need to do is log in and scroll to where it says parents and siblings. Currently all they should see is their adopted family here. Scroll down and after any children are listed there should be a button that says "Add Parent." If they click that they should be able to add their biological parents. You can even list the relationship type by clicking the pencil icon next to their name, and selecting the correct relationship type.
