Hi Joe

The way I did it was to go to 'View' then 'Spouse list'. You then get the option to add a new wife/husband as appropriate.

Hi Jan,
The easiest way is to just right click on the persons info panel then Left click on ADD and a dropdown list appears for all types of entries.

Cheers
Geoff

Jan
Plural marriages.

If you find later that you have found that one of your ancestors had been married before, and this can be very common in the early years. Just enter the first marriage as Geoff says, go to the View spouse  on your edit dropdown,  select  ORDER, then Up or down and then the marriages will be rearranged according to the dates. You can also specify your preferred spouse. ie. your line.
Hope this helps too.
