Whilst commercial tree software such as FTM will allow you to do this, at the moment it is not possible to link up someone who appears twice in your GR tree, for example, brothers and sisters who married each other, or cousins who got married in your tree.

You will have to enter one of the persons twice. Put a memo in the notes field to remind you or anyone else viewing the tree that the person is entered twice.

Alternatively manage your tree on a program such as FTM and periodically upload a copy to GR, or any other sites you wish to have your tree on.

Can anyone help please. I believe that I have found a marriage between two people on my tree, (Sorry!? What does she think a family tree is for? I can hear you say) but these two are on two completely diferent branches. Is there anyway I can make the link without having to delete one branch and input again? Many thanks.
