hi im new to this, im having trouble with my tree, my sister has a different father to me and my brother a different mother but in my tree it looks like we have th same parents because i added them as siblings, is there any way to change this ive tried edit tools but im having no joy.

Yvonne, the best way to do this is to delete the children and start again by adding a new partner for your mother and one for your father on either side, Then add the children to each relationship.

I think it could just be the way the tree on here shows it. Try clicking on the box with your father and his children with your mother will be shown. If you then click on your mother, all of her partners and children will come up, and if you then click on her other partner (or your father's other partner) their children together will appear in a family group.
