I have two first cousins in my tree who have married. Is there a way I can show that they had the same Grandparents. Every time I try I end up with the same person entered twice!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Nicki

Nicola I suggest that you send an e-mail to GC support. Apparently, there is a way of doing it. I am about to send a request for help, as my Italian ancestors from three separate families have inter-married over at least two generations. Sorry I can't be of more help, but you'd best get the advice from the experts! Best of luck David

Hi there Coincidence - I put on a question - Help please - little while ago. I have 2 sisters who married 2 brothers and cannot seem to put parents on to show both sisters or show the marriage/family connection. Liz

Nicola and Rosalind It stikes me that this problem could be overcome if it worked like most genealogy programmes - i.e. when entering a spouse of child you have the option of selecting somebody already in your tree or adding a new person. I will suggest that to GC support, but I think it will be a major undertaking from them. David
