how would I write on the tree a couple who had a illegitamate child, but did not marry

Question

I have a couple of people on my treen that had a relationship, and as a result had a son.  The couple did not marry.  How would I write that on Wikitree to reflect that fact accurately?  These people are not living.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Hi!  Add the father and then the mother. Add the child and connect it to the father respective the mother. When displaying the child, both parrents will show, but not as a couple. When displaying the father or the mother, the child will display but not the other parrent.

You should also indicate in the bio that the child was the illegitimate offspring of the two parents. This will help when someone else is confused by the relationship.
