One of my rellies re-married while her 1st husband was still alive, on her 2nd marriage cert it says she was a widow. How can I add her 2nd husband to my GR tree. Thanks Ann

Hi Ann Select your rellie,and then simply select the 'add partner' option,just fill in the details. Not sure if the software will handle the dates if they cross,but GR software is so simple it probably can't spot the overlap. Be careful when you add children though,make sure you add them to the right marriage. Glen

Thanks a lot Glen I'll try that although if I remember rightly the last time I did that and it didnt work. If you dont hear from me again, you'll know I've done it. Thanks Ann

It does work, but GR sometimes puts the marriages in the wrong order - it seems to base the order on the husbands' dates of birth, not the dates of marriage.

Yes it does,so if the wife had a second hubby older than the first they show the wrong way round. Moral of the story,get a toyboy for your 2nd marriage. Glen
