I dont yet know who their parents are, is that why? If so, its most annoying, if I don't enter this info fairly quickly, I shall forget I've got it. Marjorie

On family tree programs its possible to add unrelated individual but not I think on GR. Why not add parents to the sister you already have on the tree as Mr and Mrs and the surname, which I guess you know, and approximate dates and places of birth. Then you will be able to add their other daughter and her child. You can always go back and edit the details when you find the parents' names.

Durh!!! Thankyou both, I have done this previously but forgot, having just spent 30 minutes trying to delete a new person who mysteriously appeared five times (due, no doubt, to me repeatedly pressing Refresh because the page went dead...) Oh, its sooo hard, this Family History! Marjorie

Yes it's hard. But its fun isn't it! When it goes right anyway. I just type Unknown, Unknown or Unknown, Surname if I don't know then as said previously edit it when you know. Good Luck.
