Hi Anne! Your query gave me cause to look at Alabaster tree on FH. As you may recall, I have only recently imported it from Pedigree to Family Historian and had not have not had time (a lifetime?) to check it all out yet. However, following your query, I have looked at one pair of Alabaster first cousins who I know married (on her 21st birthday against parents' wishes, incidentally) and looked at the ancestor tree. The grandparents do show up on both sides of the tree but joined by a brightly coloured swoop of a curve. This moved me on to what must be the most difficult scenario (unless someone reading this knows better...........) two Alabaster brothers married two Agass sisters whose grandchildren (a male Alabaster and a female Alabaster) later married ........ This means that the offspring of the cousins had 2 parents, 4 grandparents, but only 4 unique gt grandparents 8 gt gt grandparents etc. There still have to be 8 positions for the gt grandparents (2 above each grandparent's head) but clearly these are duplicates. Each time the senior branch shown has the brightly colours swoops.....................and very pretty it is too!

The father and mother do appear twice (the second time as spouses of each other) and once again are linked by the coloured swoop. Pretty smart all in all. I do like FH so far!
