How do I copy a name so that I can pursue alternative possibilities? It must be easy as I've seen copy entries on other trees!
Thanks

Welcome to the boards, David

When you add a relative, you are given the option of selecting an existing entry. This could be because of intermarriages between 2 sets of siblings, cousins or in-laws.

I don't think you can create or copy a person so that they float around unconnected to anyone else on your GR tree.
