As far as i know it's a quirk of the GR software,with all the problems that are present on GR recently,including search problems and photographs/extra details going missing from trees,it pays to at the very least back up your information somehow,and ideally use an alternative programme (eg Family Tree Maker etc). At least with backed up details or FTM you never have to reveal your whole tree if you make a connection elsewhere. The only solution on the GR site that i know would be to make an incorrect year of birth for the older husband,but any matches you make elsewhere are affected,unless the match is made through children of either marriage. Anyone else know better? Glen

It's only a diagram, so I don't worry about it. It's more important that the facts about my rellies are acurate for matching. This isn't my master copy anyway. I have FTM as my main tree. If I want it to look pretty I can go to Tribal Pages! Lx
