I include ones with children as this is a continuance of the bloodlines. Should I be including long term common law relationships that have not produced children in my genealogy?

It is a big glitch and one that I hope myheritage can address sooner rather than later. I have several of these instances in my family tree and really dislike the inability to indicate NO relationship, other than the offspring! Also, isn't there a hypenated line for adopted children? Thanks --- and keep up the great work! I love your product! Here’s a second on that Donella’s comment regarding non-married parent of a child.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and give your feedback

I’ve made a list of things I’m going to cover off during this series, so I’ll add the issue of adoptions in any generation to the topics and will do my best to get you and other readers relevant information.

I’ll also pass on your feedback re: the “married” line showing up by default to our development team.

I am sure I am not the only one dealing with this. and so far, all I can do is just put the fact that the person is adopted into the comment section!?! and while I'm on the subject of updates I'd like to see... when I enter a person who is the father of someone's child, but NOT married to them... and I chose a status such as "unknown" from the drop down box.... to indicate that they are NOT married, divorced, seperated... any of those... just never were legally a set at all... I still end up with a "married" line between them, and worse, it calls them husband and wife! this can be somewhat of an issue... especially for living family members, who are no longer with that person. I wish this could be fixed. I'm not sure it needs to go so far as to say "baby daddy"!!! but, essentially, that is all I am trying to convey here. that’s one option. but I was hoping you were going to deal with a more workable option on the site for dealing with adoptions in any generation.
