First Cousins marrying on the Family Tree.

Please can anyone tell me how I can link first cousins who marry on my GR family tree. If I enter the information twice then I get two people , one linked as a child and the other as a spouse , but if I only enter it once then there's only one link either child or spouse, not both . No reply from GR yet, but I'm sure this isn't such a rare occurance , especially in small villages. I use the Family Reunion programme on my mac , which works differently, so it could be I'm missing something obvious !

You cannot link them on the GR tree You should be able to do it on your Reunion progam. Then upload a gedcom to genes. Sue

Thanks Sue, That's good advice , now I just have to work out how to do it ! The Reunion programme is brilliant and very logical . I strongly recommend it . It'd be a lot easier if the GR family tree was more like it and allowed us to link people where necessary.
