Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 126 Send Message	I have an ancestor who marries 2 sisters. How do I link them on my tree, if you see what I mean. Currently I have 2 women with the same surname and the same father's name but I can't work out how to tie them together to show they are the same family. Help please! Chris

This is how I got round two brothers marrying two sisters that I did not know were related at the time.

	What Keith advises is fine for most famiy tree programs like Familytree Maker. However you can't do it on your tree on GR.
	Researching: Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
