Hello. My Father and Mother are cousins. I am having trouble linking the two sides of the family without having to have duplicates. Can anyone help me please.
Thanks
Jennifer

Welcome to the boards Jennifer.

I don't think the GR tree will let you enter cousins who marry. Try asking GR if they can help by emailing them at:-

It will allow you to marry off cousins, as long as they are already in your tree. Use the 2nd tab Find Existing to type in their name. Use the same tab to add their parents. At least one (the siblings) will already be in your tree

The duplicates are there to show the relationship to their parents and other-than-mutual grandparents. There is no way around it as far as I'm aware. Someone may know differently.
