Ben, I know what you mean, its not as Brian suggests one person marrying two, its brother & sister marrying another brother & sister, isn't it? My father & his brother married my mother & her sister at a double wedding on Boxing Day & I don't see why you shouldn't be able to add the siblings to your parents & then add the partners. Di

You can have two wives, my example: John Hilton's Father is Thomas Hilton (of which i added and his mother Ann). I then clicked on Thomas and added 'another partner'. Which gives thomas with two wives. Each wife has their children and shows that Thomas is the father of all children. As for in-laws, i'll get back to you. Mel in Oz. Ben, Just tried it, sorry GR doesn't reconise in-laws by marriage. Maybe make an additional note of their relation. :-) Mel.

You can't marry the same person to two people on the GR software.

I have not managed to do this yet! Grrrr. Antoher thing is my Mother re-married after divorcing my father. When she did she married my Dad's little brother (i know, i know!!) So I can't even link him into my mother's marriage! Useless thing!
