I have just found out this fact today. I knew about 1 link and had researched the wifes family and had sister 2 in as a relative. How do I link sister 2 with brother 2 or do I have to (as it seems) add a partner to either brother 2 or sister 2 thus making it look like I have added one of them twice?

ON GR you can't link siblings, cousins, etc, Although they are working on an upgrade A lot of the tree programs do allow this including PAF5 which is free from the LDS site (familysearch)

I've had a similar problem, and entered the details twice with a covering note. I have entered their children on the father's side and not their mothers, but of course the tree doesn't read correctly. I have now found two cousins who married each other so I have a similar problem again. I too have no problem with my PC Family Tree package. It's just one of those things I'm afraid.
