I enjoy charting out my family tree, but in so doing, I’ve found a branch here and there where one of the kids in a marriage does not belong to the husband due to an extramarital affair. I was told to just list the kid as a child of the married couple’s anyway, "just because". But I want the chart to be accurate. Is there a "most tactful way" to do this so that it can be shared with the rest of the family? When it comes to kids that both people brought into the marriage with them, that’s a different story. That can be plainly stated. But how can you say, "X and Y had six kids together, and X also had a seventh kid to another person while still married to Y" in the least "volatile" way?
