Hi The father in law not down twice but the way i've done it he has 2 partners the son in-law and the wife Also his daughter is married too the son inlaw so it sort off makes it that everyone i try and delete can't because they have multiple partners. The fathers name is James & the daughter Jamesina i have tried switching the 2off them too fix it but still not working

There is a no-cost option which will also give you the security of having a copy of your tree on your computer. There are several free family tree programs of which a well-known one is Personal Ancestral File (PAF). Or you may find a cheap copy of Family Tree Maker (FTM) 2005 version. Both of these programs allow you to build and rearrange your tree more flexibly then the GR version. They can also produce printed trees and text reports. You can export your GR tree as a GEDCOM file to start your home tree. Then once you've got it more up to date you can export a GEDCOM file from home to update your GR tree.
