Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 246 Send Message	I have a query relating to how I show the following information on my tree: My mother has remarried and I have managed to show this on my family tree, however the problem I have come across is that she has married one of her cousins. How do I connect the two families, as one of my g/grandfathers sisters married my step fathers grandfather. Therefore I have my mum and my stepfather coming up from me, with my step grandfather not connected to them and his line ending with him. Do I just add a copy of my step fathers details and then carry on from there? Hopefully someone can make sense of what I am trying to say. Many thanks for your help. Vanessa (confused of Plymouth)

	Where are you trying to do this? Gr? FTM? Somewhere else? Linda x
