However, the tree can't cope with multiple relationships for parties who are already related, such as cousins marrying and one of the parties needs to be entered twice. Your case sounds a bit unusual. Where did you enter your grandfather, and against who?

	No - it can't. You either show the relationship as you want it shown on your off-line tree and upload a gedcom (and no I don't understand those) or try asking if GR can "fix" it. They used to be able to do that. Jill

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 34 Send Message	Why are there two entries for my Grandfather on my tree? He married twice firstly to my Mum's Mum & then after they were both widowed to my Dad's Mum. There are two separate entries for him-can't the tree cope with the fact this is the same person & he had two spouses. Help!
