Ah, that will explain the issues I've been having, attempting to figure out how to create the links.
I have a couple of similar ones; one is a brother and sister who married a sister and brother from another family.
Rather frustrating and I must say somewhat disappointing.

You can upload it as SRS suggests but even then, certain types of multiple relationships still won't show correctly on GR.

Also If you do have a tree off site that can do this, I think you can download the tree onto this site. I think that's the only way.

Sorry, unlike commercial tree programs, you can't on the GR tree. At the moment it is not possible to link up someone who appears twice in your tree, for example, brothers and sisters who married each other, or cousins who got married in your tree. You will have to enter that person twice.

Put something in the notes to explain.

A Family member's ex-husband married her new husband's sister - I suppose they're trying to keep it in the family but how do I link her as the new husband's sister and the old husband's wife.
I've tried copy and paste - this creates a duplicate and an open link - HELP! PLEASE!
