I think your best option is to delete the kids and start again:- Go to "Your Names", find the surname for the half brother and sister and then click "view your names", find the person and click on "immediate family". This will then give you the option to delete. Then go back to the correct mother for the kids. Make sure you have already added the correct father for the kids to this mother (so "add partner"). When you have done this. Then "add child". If there is more than one possibility for father, it will ask which is the correct one. Just highlight the right one and this should then put the kids in the right place with the right parents. Hope this isn't too confusing and that it sorts it for you.

HI, I seem to be having problems separating my siblings into their respective family sections. I have a half brother and sister who show up as having two mothers, both mine and their own, ( my step-mother) so they show up twice in my tree. Can anyone help. Many thanks in advance. jennie
