I have spent the last 2 hours looking through an Ancestral File and am going bonkers. I have a theory that all NOTTINGHAM HIND families are related. I have gone back to 1715 and forward and sideways. So many John Hind's. But to cap it all one family had 7 children and one so far of these married a HIND from another family. Great! More blooming John Hind's. How on earth do I put these in Family Tree on GC site. I will need to have two lots of Hind families. Sould I name tem Hind(1) and Hind (2). I already have had to put John Jnr and John Sr. Any ideas please. Also the John Hind born in 1742 has remarried in double quick time after his wife died probably after having the 7 children.(can't blame her). Help! Sandra

With this sort of thing, you need a multiple marriage feature and a fix relationship function, both of which are on my family tree software, but not on here Family history can get complicated, as you have found out.
