I have now found that one of my ancestor's first husband shares the same lineage as herself, except that her GGrandfather was his grandfather. As I want to add his father's details etc. is there a way of linking the families without creating a seperate tree as parents and grandparents are effectively added again? Anyone found this happen to them? Marion

Hello The same thing happened to me. My GG Grandfather is also my husbands GGG Grandfather. I had to link them on FT programme and replace the one on here. Very scary as I had never done anything like that on my own before, but I managed.....eventually. Kathleen
