how should we record the children of same-sex marriages on our family trees
Birth certificates are probably our most important identity document.
Their purpose is to record legal, not biological, parental status (as in adopted children)
Countries issue amended birth certificates after adoption to reflect the change, but as a statutory privilege, not in satisfaction of any constitutional right (the original record of the child’s biological parents is often preserved, although sealed against public access)
Therefore, how should we record the children of same-sex marriages on our family trees if the tree is made public?
Do we record the biological parents and work back on their ancestors for the descendents of these children who will one day be curious? OR do we record the same-sex couple as their parents and work back on their ancestors?
It would be far too 'confusing' and nearly impossible to add all 4 'parents' and their families and ancestors

WALTER's OBITUARY
The death occurred early on Saturday morning, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs W. T. Stewart, Arapaepae Road, Levin, of an old resident of Horowhenua and Wairarapa districts in the person of Mr Walter E. Axup. The deceased gentleman, who was in his 76th year, was born at Abingdon, England. On September 26th 1859, the late Mr Axup came to New Zealand as a boy, landing in Wellington from the sailing vessel "Ben Ledi" on May 15th, 1877. After a considerable number of years spent on the farm of his father, Mr Henry Axup, at Waverley, he took up farm management on behalf of Mr Carlile, of Woodville, and a few years later was called upon to take over the management of the Cotter Estate, in Southern Wairarapa, which position he retained for over 14 years, superintending extensive ploughing operations with the first steam ploughing equipment introduced into the North Island, in the country surrounding Tauherenikau and Greytown.
Mr Axup then carried out farming operations in his own interests at Rata, in the Marton district, for a period of six years, but was obliged to discontinue owing to ill health. A short while later, in 1907, he again took up farm management, this time in the interests of Mr H. V. Hammond, controlling his Ohau property "Tangimona" for a period of eight years, following which he managed the McDonald Estate, Heatherlea, for four years. His next move was to Waikanae, where he assumed management of Messrs Higginson Bros' property. His last position was on the East Coast, near masterton, on the property of Mr and Mrs J. B. Moodue, retiring six years ago with his wife to Featherston, where they resided until about five months ago, when they came to Levin.
In 1889, Mr Axup was married to Maria Amelia Ross, of Woodville, a member of the family of one of the earliest settlers in that district. He is survived by his wife, two sister, Mrs H. Wastney of Auckland and Mrs J. Hurly of Featherston, and one daughter, Mrs W. T. Stewart, of Levin
