Lisa If you go to immediate family on the left hand side of the screen and go back to the person who remarried (so that at the top of the page it says immediate family of whoever) and then add new partner, and then just add the children to the new couple. It will specify then on the immediate family page who is the father of each child. Rachel

If your using a GEDCOM database then you shodul be able to add as many spouses as you like. If your doing it manually then suggest you use a different colour for second different colour for third etc. Donna

Have a similar problem as my g grandad remarried not sure who grandads mum was.But as far as adding extra wives and children into your tree I think is straight forward just put them down as additional partner+child. Malc

a lot of my family have married, had children, then remarried and had more children... how do I allow for that in the tree?
