Brian Are you sure about that? I thought it used to be illegal to marry sister's husband/brother's wife. Bob

I have a similar problem in that my wife's grandmother married her sister's widower, so I would have to enter him twice.

Thank you. That was quick!!!!!!!!! I have about five cases of this so inputing my tree is becoming completly impossible. I've done a note on Anne and just inputed Harry's parents going back not ideal but it'll do. Once again thank you

Quite simply, you cant!! You would have to use a different family tree system to show this.

My great great grandfather Harry Charlish married his cousin my gg grandmother Anne Charlish. My question is how do I enter them into my tree on GC without having to input all of their common ancestors twice. Paula
