How to handle multiple duplicates?

[andrewalston]

I think that the software is making a very good effort to show you everything you have told it. It is because humans in real life don't normally have to cope with multiple relationships at the same time that we find it confusing.

In places where cousins marrying is common, we often get complicated trees. The software I use told me recently that one particular person was my:
   3rd cousin 3 times removed,
   4th cousin 2 times removed,
   5th cousin 4 times removed and
   6th cousin 3 times removed.

I didn't bother trying to upload the tree to Ancestry, but I can get the list of common ancestors easily enough.

As long as you are happy that you have input the relationships correctly, the view on screen should be fine, even if you don't understand it on first viewing. You should be proud of having worked out the real-life relationships!
