For scrapbooking, you could do it with colors and dashed or dotted lines and have a small key somewhere on the page. Put the person under their family member ie. Stepson under his father, but you connect to him with a different line or color and then put his stepson under him with a solid connection to the mom and a dashed line from him to the dad. It will be more lines, but it should clearly delineate the relationships. The only other way to do it is to have the first marriage on the same line with the husband with the dashed line and (div) over it, then put the kids under it. That is a good way to do it if you are passing it on to the kids, because it is more accurate and includes their "whole" family.
