i just noticed that one of my ancestor’s children are attached as children to her and her husband but also attached to her and her second husband as step-children. Is that kosher, or should I just detach them from the second husband as step-children??????

    It's 'Brett'.

    FYI

    Short Answer: 'Yes', that is fine, if the Children, "Lived' (or, were associated) with, their Mother; and, her SECOND Spouse / Husband, for any length of time.

    One just needs to 'Set', the "Parent-Child" Relationship, to the correct 'Type', for the relevant Father (ie. "Biological"; or, "Step") .

    'No', should NOT necessarily "Detach" them from the "Couple" Relationship, between their Mother; and, her SECOND Spouse / Husband; as, Step-Children.

    I hope this helps.

    Brett
