Richard Carr Wright - G3SW-6XP - was the son of Ollie Mae Bryant and Allie Wright but after they lost one child Ollie's parents, Warren and Susie Bryant, adopted Richard. I have him as the adopted child of the Bryants, but I want to show his real parentage.

    Before you do that you have a problem to resolve.

    Richard Carr Bryant - G3SW-6XP shows as being born 8 Aug 1926, but Olive May Bryant and Allie Alexander Wright already have a child, Archie William Wright - L2FY-NTL born 20 July 1926. They cannot both be the children of Olive May Bryant and Allie Alexander Wright.

    Once you have that sorted out, if you still want to add Richard as their son, it is straightforward. On Olive's details page, in the section "Spouses and Children", below the last child, where Archie is now, you can see "+ Add Child". Click on that and then click on "By ID Number" enter G3SW-6XP and follow the prompts.

    I don't know when it became practice and/or medically feasible, but it is possible to have twins born up to 3 months apart. One child is delivered premature, then the labor is stopped, and the other child is allowed to develop in utero for a better chance at survival.
    I did about 2 minutes of googling and found an example of twins born one month apart in the 1950s.
