Member Since: October 2005 Posts: 6 Send Message	Hi all, Do you know how I can resolve this issue? I have been adding a branch of the family where cousins married. This has caused me to end up with a few relations entered twice, once through each branch of the family. How do I connect the entries so as to only have people entered into my tree once? I also don't want to leave blank spaces where they got married. I have seen something along the lines of John Smith[10] in my tree and this seems to link marriages outside the family, such as after divorce. Is there some code I'm after? Can someone help me? Many thanks, Andy Cunningham

	Andy, I have the same thing in my tree, and quite a few as they came from small villages. I usually put a note in the section underneath. Not sure there is a way, but if anyone out there does know, would also be grateful for info.
