I assume that as they all have the same name it will be your grandfather with two wives, rather than the grandmother with two husbands. If you find the name later you can go into the record and make changes. Best wishes Stan

You then have the option when adding a child to the correct parents. I hope that makes sense!! Shout it you need more help. Regards Margaret
