Member Since: April 2016 Posts: 2 Send Message	Hi folks, Can anyone please help me. My father's mother was a widow when she married his father, how do I input this on the tree so that it looks correct. Thank you for your help.

	Always add a female under her maiden name if you know it. If you wish to acknowledge her first husband, create another spouse for her. This would be necessary if your father had half-siblings as you need to make sure they are linked to the correct biological parents. Should you not wish to do that, then add a note that she was the widow of X. In any event, click on the box showing her name. There should be 3 small boxes shown one of which says Add. Click on that and select Spouse.
