These are probably stupid questions but here goes.

How do you establish birth order when there are children from outside a marriage or from more than one marriage. eg. In my family I would be my mother and father's second child but my mother's third child so which do I use. Also if there is a woman married because she was 'with child' but the husband was not the father of the child and there is no information on who the father is how and where do you put this information?

The birth order is the order between children with the same parent set, which means that two half-siblings will both have birth order one.

Thank you, so that means my birth order is second.

Rolana,
regarding the missing father, you can go into the profile of the child, and edit it. The first field under "Relationships" is Parents. Check the list of suggestions, you should see "[mother's name] & Unknown". Select that, and Save. If this option is not in the list, just, from the tree, add another "husband" to the mother, select that pair, for the parents field, and delete this extra.
