	Have discovered my gt gt grandad was married twice and the woman I have as my gt grandads mom isn't actually his mother, second wife is. How do you add a second wife without getting confused? Thanks

I think the program should sort itself out and rearrange the partners. Give it a go it will save having to delete children! Good luck Heather
