You can define the relationship between the mother and father of the child by going to the PERSON tab, then click on the RELATIONSHIPS TAB (top right of facts box), select the name of the "spouse" and then on the right hand side in the drop down listing for Relationship you have various options you can choose from.Elaine

Go to the family view where you can see the father and mother of the children.
Click on the "husband"
Go to the PERSON tab - click on attach/detach
Select "detach selected person"
You should then get an option of whom you want to detach him from - in this case the mother of the children. Tick the box against the mother's name - but not against the chldren's name.
This will detach him from the relationship but will still show him on your tree as father of the two children.
When you have done this the relationship calculator should show him as the father of your grandchildren (rather than as son in law)
By the way, before doing any attaching or detaching, it's always a good idea to back up your tree first ... just in case!Elaine
