Hi Angela, I think most software allows this, GC seems to be the exception. Family Tree Maker does, Legacy 5 (which is available as a free download) also the one on the LDS site does, also free. Debbie

Thanks for the info Geoff My grandparents were cousins and I have the same problem as Angela. I have now downloaded Heredis and will try it out. Lynne

The Master Genealogist permits it, but it's not free.

I just married my cousin! Heredis 7 seems to accept it. http://www.myheredis.*com/

Can anyone let me know if there is a family history software whidh allows you to link together cousins who marry without any problems. Preferably free. I've downloaded free versions of PAF, Embla and Legacy (standard) but I don't think any of them will let you do this without putting them in as separate people (if you see what I mean). Perhaps you have to pay for upgrades to do this. Can't be that unusual for people to have marrying cousins in their family. Many thanks in advance
