Show 1st cousins marrying on GR tree. Tried to do it and failed abysmally. I now have the woman shown as a child with her parents. She is also shown as a wife with children but no parents. Is there a simple way of showing her married and with parents. I realise I will have to delete one entry but one one is it? Jean (completely computer illerate).

The only way to do it on this site is to have one of them listed twice. Sam x

Sam ... does that mean that where she is entered with just her parents I then add her husband and children to her which will then mean I have her, her husband and her children on the tree twice. I am so confused. Jean x.

Hi Jean, Could you add the cousin to the husband and add children as usual? Then for the wife, add her husband, but put a note about their children (for children see issue of John Smith & Mary Brown) I don't think the GR tree can cope with showing the actual connection in diagram form. Sorry, not explained this very well. She would appear twice, but not the children Jay
