ENGLISH / Duplicate Ancestors
« on: January 02, 2023, 03:49:23 »
My parents are third cousins, so I have repeated ancestors. I can't figure out how to put in my great-great-great grandfather Otto & his wife twice into the family tree in any way except by creating a new person, or pretending either Paul or Homer had no parents & no ancestors. When I made two Ottos and tried to use the tool to merge them, it just deleted the other from my maternal family tree, making my g.g.grandfather Paul fatherless again. Is there a way to merge the two people into one entry, or rather, make the same entry show up in two places?
I know this is going to be a problem again a few more generations up, b/c I think they might also be sixth or seventh cousins of each other. It will be both arduous and misleading if I have to put in all the information multiple times, and create multiple ID numbers for the same person.
Thanks!
