FTM 2012 - How can I create a 'cross-generation' marriage between two people?

[PabloC]

Afternoon,

I was wondering if anybody might be able to advise me how I go about creating a marriage within FTM 2012 between two existing people within my tree, where the situation is as follows...

I have a situation whereby a direct ancestor (Great, great, great grandfather) went on to marry the sister of his son-in law after the death of his daughter's mother (The son-in-law being the husband of said daughter).

How do I go about creating this marriage within FTM2012? I have tried, but it ends up creating duplicated entries for the ancestors concerned and really distorts the layout of the family tree when viewed.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Regards

Paul

Creating the marriage shouldn't be a problem. Type in the name only of the new spouse then click on Person-->Merge Two Specific Individuals.
You don't specify what kind of tree you wish to view, but it is possible to select an individual (or group of individuals if you you use the Ctrl key) and move them around on a chart.
