Family relationships can sometimes be complicated. Families are made up of many different types of relationships, including step-relatives, adoptive relatives, and more. The good news is that you can include all of these connections in a single family tree. You just need to know how.
Let me walk you through the process using an example from my paternal grandfather’s family.
Leo’s mother died three days after he was born. A year later, his father remarried. To Leo, his stepmother was the only mother he ever knew. I wanted to include both of his mothers in his profile on Ancestry, and thanks to Ancestry’s Edit Relationships feature, that’s possible.
Follow the step-by-step instructions in this post’s carousel to learn how.
I used this same feature to document my daughter’s biological parents in our family tree. Her profile is connected to both her adoptive family line and her biological family lines.
Could this feature help you better organize your family tree?
