Jeff, Geni Curator Add ex-husband to the tree (you can edit his profile and change the relationship to "ex", which will turn it into a dashed line and remove the relationship from being listed on your profile).
Then add the children as a child of your ex-husband and yourself. If the children are incorrectly placed under the wrong parent, you can adjust this in the relationship tab parent pulldown menu.
If you prefer not to have your ex listed at all, then you can delete that profile and the children will be listed fatherless.

Jeff, Geni Curator Sorry.. misread.. add your husband's ex-wife and follow the same process.

DENISE Myrtle Manley Ezell Shahan Hi, Jeff! I've tried this with my husband's ex-wife and their children, but they do not show up under MY TREE, only if I click on my husband's profile and then tree. Help! My step-children and granddaughter are part of our lives, but we don't want to list them as a link to me other than as their step-mother. Thanks!

Jeff, Geni Curator Sorry, Geni doesn't have the ability to display it that way. The only option to display it on your tree, while leaving them biologically correct, is if you listed them as your adoptive or foster children. Then it would show in both places.
