In my tree i have 3 brothers who married 3 sisters, and Im finding that one pair will join into the tree as it should, but the other 2 pairs seem to be as seperate families entirely.
Anyone able to help 'marry' all these people into the one tree????
Thanks . Christine

You cannot do it on the genes tree build facility.
You can however do this on a family tree program on your home computer.
This sorts no end of complicated marriages.
You can export your gedcom from genes and import in to the program make the changes then export the new gedcom back to genes and names are then only shown once.

There are quite a few free programs you can download to do this.

Legacy is a good free one.
