Two brothers - one dies and the other marries his deceased brothers wife. How can I link in the tree?

On Genes you cant.I have a similar round Robin in that my maternal grt gran married two brothers who were her cousins & her second and third husbands AND the third husband was the elder brother and had previously been married to HER younger sister. MY FTM program copes with it but on genes I have just added the two brothers as addtional spouses to her and made notes on each of their pages of the over all relationship.
I believe if you import a tree where its all sorted then it will show correctly but I dont want to add all my FTM tree to Genes

My grandmother's brother married my grandfather's niece.That has so far baffled my software.

It just doesn't seem to understand village life.
