Gale,

Remember also that you can change the primary mother tag depending on the
report you want to generate. Even though only one mother can be primary you
can have as many mothers as you need <g>. To change the primary mother click
on the one you want to make primary, then click on the * (the 3rd button on
the right next to the tags, after + and -)

In the circumstances you indicate. I think I would have the natural mother
primary and use the Parent-not tag that I explained to you to give the
stepmother the credit she deserves.
