	Sarah Without listing the people twice you cannot do it on here. You can however do this on a family tree program on your home computer. You can export your gedcom from genes and import in to the program make the changes then export the new gedcom back to genes There are quite a few free programs you can download to do this.

If you have a program like Family Tree Maker, it will let you add cousins who marry, and I believe then you can upload that into here successfully, but I've never tried uploading it again. Good luck!
