Hiya, have a few members on my family tree where for example 2 brothers married into the same family, but different generations. Any tips on how to join them all up, as if you do it on the computer you end up with them all being in seperate parts of the tree. many thanks, Sally

Sally You cannot do this on the GR tree. But you can do it on your own, offline tree and re import to to Genes. (When will GR go out and buy a PROPER family tree package?) OC

Hi Apparentley you can't do it in Genes, I asked a few weeks back as I have the same problem, I just put in the notes, see (husband or wife) and then anyone looking can find them with their details. Can be done in family tree maker, but not sure how you do it. Debbie

This question comes up over and over again ... I have three such examples in my own tree. Surely GR can recognise that it's a big failing of their system and address it with urgency.
