If it was the father who was married, had an affair and the child stayed external to the family, then add a partner and put the child with them. If it was the mother who had the affair but she stayed with her partner and the child was brought up with her, then either and leave the partner off, or on. Its your tree, you do it how you want. I understood it to be a partner you were adding, not necessarily being married. I have my current partner on my tree and my ex partner who is the father of my child on my tree too, but havent married either of them. Rebecca

	Or, you could add the father as another spouse, then under place of marriage, just put 'not marrried'.?
