Is there a way to change relationship between myself and my stepdad on my Family Search tree?

My mom was married twice and neither of her husbands are my biological father. Her second husband raised me and is the dad to my youngest two siblings. I just got my DNA results from Ancestry. So trying to fix my family trees so once I get info on my biological father's side I can add it.​

    Here is a Knowledge Article in FamilySearch on the matter:

    .

    How do I specify biological, step, adopted, and foster relationships in Family Tree?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/salesforce/viewArticle?urlname=Adding-Changing-and-Deleting-Relationship-Types-between-Parents-and-Children&lang=en

    .

    Pictorially:

    .

    Parent and Child _ Change _ 1

    .

    Select the "Pencil" Icon; and, then, select the "Add Relationship Type".

    .

    Parent and Child _ Change _ 2

    .

    Select the "Down" Triangle.

    .

    Parent and Child _ Change _ 3

    .

    Choose the "Relationship Type" that that suits; and, select it.

    .

    I hope this helps.

    Yes, you can edit the relationship between children and parents by clicking on the pen & pad icon next to your name under your listed parents. This opens a page which allows you to edit the "Relationship to Child" of the father and a drop down list of choices including "Step and Biological." Once you add your biological father, you can set your relationship to him. You can set a "Preference" as to which parental relationship you want to show when you open your tree. This is done by clicking the Preference box under the set of parents on your personal page.
