Hi Julie There's no way you'll be able to do it on this site. GR's program won't even let you show 1st cousins marrying which just about everyone has in their tree. I believe there are some programs out there that will let you do it though - just can't remember which ones! lol Jeanette x

I have several little weirdos like this, including first cousin marriages. My tree is in Legacy. Importing it as a gedcom file, the ancestors have not been duplicated. B

I think that every family has that and so far i have not seen any program that can handle common parents without dupicating the tree so i too would like to know if there is another way

Hi My Grandfathers brother married my Nans Cousin, so how do I record this on my tree without having to do 2 branches duplicated. Is there any way of doing it? Julie
