How do you show Twins on Ancestry Tree?
« on: Friday 11 November 16 10:59 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know if it's possible to show two children baptised the same day and born the same year to the same parents are twins on Ancestry.com family tree? I've searched their Help section but couldn't find anything...

Absolutely!

I have 4 successive generations of twins in my tree - just add the children and note all their dates the same as the other.

I am the 2nd generation of the 4 ;D

Just take note, however, that just because they were baptised the same day, doesn't mean that they were born on the same day?
Sometimes, parents baptised their children in "batches"?!

 I put both children in on the 3 sets of twins I've found so far, I did annotate each child that they were a twin of and name the other child. This means anyone looking at my tree would be aware I hadn't made a mistake and put a wrong date on 1 of the children as well as I can see straight away what the situation is.

I suspect making their first names say 'John [twin of Thomas]' & 'Thomas [twin of John]'  :-\

Use the "Description" section of the Birth details?
