Back again - I am SO demanding....

Having delved a bit into my husband's side of the family, I've discovered a connection going back a few generations....his grandparents have turned out to be 2nd cousins!

Anyhoo, is there anyway I can link up people on the tree or am I going to have to delete some and stick them in again??!

Thank you,
Kelly

If you mean what I think you mean......no, you can't.

GR does not have the facility to cope with multiple inter-family marriages............you have to double up on the entries.

I have sisters marrying brothers.......and it's a damned nuisance.

The PAF software from LDS.........free to download......IS able to deal with this scenario...........

Thanks for that,

I didn't really think it would be that easy - never mind!

(Sisters and brothers, eh?! Oooer!)

Your mind obviously works differently from mine..........

Two sisters married two brothers............

I can do better than that. I've got two sisters marrying a father and son!

I have two sisters marrying two brothers. I should think it was quite common where you lived in a small community (even within a big city).
