I had a similar problem. The support desk have added it to their list of things to do. They suggest you carry on with the line from one and add it as a note to the other. Does anyone know if there are any family tree programs that can cope with this?

Hi There I know this has been a problem for a lot of people ( I suspect that my great great grandparents were cousins, although have not got their certificates yet to prove it). I have a pretty big tree and I must admit I am not prepared to let this mess it up!!!(fighting talk I know!) What I will do is rather than create the necessary "loop" I will simply add them twice and cross reference them in the text . Regards Maxine

help ! my Mum and Dad are cousins (my two grannies are sisters). I cannot get further down my family tree on this GenesReunited site as it won't "take" the info. Its a shame as I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this tree so far. Any ideas please?
