Biological Parent in Charts

[Robin Helmond]

Is it possible for charts to show a child's biological mother as well as it's adoptive parents. I have entered the biological mother's data as described in Help. She shows up in the family view as expected. But neither of the charts show the biological mother. Any ideas?

As far as I know, you can have a chart show either set of parents (by making them the "preferred" set) but you can't have a chart show both.

What you *could* do is make two charts then combine them in a drawing program.

The 'preferred parents' is something I hadn't thought of, thanks Dennis. Doing a little cut and paste is something I have done before with charts, so that may be the way.

Funnily enough, it turns out that the biological father may be the adoptive father. That's a twist.
