I have a problem connecting my g/grandmother to the father of three of her children. My grandfather and two sisters were the result of my great grandmothers relationship with her brother. How can I show this on FTM without it showing as her husband?. What a family, no wonder were all crackers. Any help or comments Margaret

I would say you have to use the 'attach relationship' or merge individuals option from the top menu bar. Select 'people' then you have the 'fix relationship' option or the merge option. Glen

You can add the childrens father/uncle as a second partner to their mother and then merge him with her brother. He will show up as a husband/ partner but you don't need to but in a marriage date. You can also go onto the marriage details (the pencil by the marriages) and alter the thing to partners from married (have done this with my cousin as she is not married to her children's father) Just tried this my self and it let me but my brother as my spouce - would make an intresting tree with implexes and incest though. now detached my bro from being my spouce

Many thanks to both of you. Have managed to change the husband to a partner. This will do.
