I have just discovered that two people in my tree were connected and have overlapping relative - but I cannot now put these relationships together without undoing a great deal of my tree! How can you suggest I either indicate the relationship or - could the program take these events into account and allow more flexibility and "move" these people together?
I feel very frustrated that I can't show this piece of research easily!

You could re enter the basic details of the spouse/relative as a new person on the connecting branch and put (2) after their name and note who the parent/sibling is in the note box.

For instance. You have been happily following Jane Doe who married John Smith. You've added their respective siblings and parents.

Then when you decide to see who their spouses were, you discover that Mary Doe, Jane Doe's sister, married Henry Smith, John Smith's brother.

So you give Henry Smith a new wife, Mary Doe (2) . You write in the notes that she was the sister of John Smith's wife. Do the same on the original enrtry for Mary Doe, ie give her a new husband Henry Smith (2) and note the relationship.

If you have an offline tree programme, you could down load from here as gedcom, connect the original entries using that, then uploaded it again. However, you will lose any photos/documents you may have attached on here, and possibly any previous notes you've made as the 'new' version will over write the 'old' one.
