My X's wife listed all her children as my X husbands children

He is deceased now. She listed all her children as his. They are not his children (adults). His only blood children are ours together. He didn't adopt her adult kids. We're talking in the 60's when he died. So now my concern is people searching for their blood line will see that and follow the wrong lead not knowing they are not related to them. Can I fix this showing his two biological children?

    The relationship can be changed to that of stepfather rather than biological.

    However, the relationships will only be visible if the children are dead.

    You can edit the relationship to be whatever, meaning you can change the relationship of step, adopted etc. or you can remove the relationship all together. Remember that if any of those involved are living, you will be the only one that can see the changes you make.

    As you make clear, "He didn't adopt her adult kids", the advice to add a step relationship would probably not be appropriate here.

    However, I am a little confused by the statement, "She listed all her children as his", as - unless you have been told this (by your X's wife) - you should not have visibility of this fact unless the children are themselves deceased.

    If they are still living, you would only have sight of "your version" of their profiles, unless they appear incorrectly in Family Tree with a "Deceased" status. Otherwise, there is little you can do about any profiles / relationships of individuals who appear in the private space of your X's wife.
