	Hi all, Just wondering if anyone could answer a quick question with Family Tree Maker. I have a male relative who is my 3 x great grandfather. Now as far as I have been able to tell he resided for a number of years with a woman and they had 7 children, then he declared himself a widow and remarried although his first wife (and am assuming that they were married although there is no record of this) did not die for another 30 odd years. He then goes on and has two children with his second partner, one of who is my great granfather x 2. On FTM the children of his first partnership show as a half relationship and I cannot work out why, when the children from his second do not have this prefixing their name in the kinship reports. It is probably something silly but I am not sure how to fix it! Any ideas would be most gratefully received!
