Any plans to incorporate the idea of adoption into the family trees any time soon? I have an ancestor that I know w as adopted, but can't label as such. I'd like to be able to record the details of his adoptive parents--since they raised him and gave him their (and now my) last name, but I also want to be able to investigate his birth parents (who, family legend has it, died in a canal accident in upstate NY when he was 10) I'm sure there are thousands of others who would like to be able to accommodate some uncertainty in their family trees as well, be it adoption, illegitimacy, or just incomplete-at-the-moment research.

I'd also still love to have the ability to give alternate names for people. Sometimes a name is anglicized, or the person sometimes went by a middle or nickname, and I'd like the system to use these names to hunt for relatives as well, to know that James Marsh is also Jamie Macdonald, and his wife's family can go from Randolph to Fitz-randolf depending on who's entering the data.

hi madam mash i am french,canadian///

about adopteed 2 thing must be in consideration legitimate and illegetimate but before going in that direction we have to make the direfence about adopted and chosen

in proper definition adopted is for animal and chosen for human ..that part of understanding is very important at personal level

A// so the family xxxx chosed the child xxx as their legitimate child
or

B ///the family xxxx adopt the child xxx as illegitimate child

the B are not legalised ..

you write

I have an ancestor that I know w as adopted, but can't label as such. I'd like to be able to record the details of his adoptive parents--since they raised him and gave him their (and now my) last name

so i do beleive your xxx ancestor was CHOSEN by the family xxx so he is legitimate child of.,
