	Clare The GR tree is only two dimensional and cannot handle a multi-dimensional relationship. There is a workaround however. Add your grandmother twice, once against each brother. Add your grandmothers ancestors against her name where she married the first brother. Also make a note that this is the same person who married brother2 elsewhere in this tree. Where your grandmother is shown as the wife of brother2, add a note that this is the same person who married brother1 elsewhere in your tree. This is not a perfect solution but it is the best you can achieve in a GR tree. Michael
