Got cousins that have married in my tree - so their parents ar brothers, and only one set of grandparents - if you get what I mean! Do I have to enter all the anscestors twice or there another way around this? Hope someone can help. Thanks Sam (on Martins PC)

Ok thanks Karen, I've entered one cousin - as I had four generations back to enter also, but maybe I'll leave the other one off for now and just enter in the notes! Cheers Sam

My friend has this problem with her tree - we didn't know they were cousins (or through which parent they were related) until after they'd been put onto GC. We eventually added the female cousin as spouse to the male cousin - as they carried on the name - but also entered the lady concerned as a daughter to her mother with a note saying 'same person as married to etc'. Very confusing. Hopefully GC will find some way around this! K.
