Highlight a person in your database that has a spouse > 2. Click the "Add spouse" button > 3. Select "Add a new person" > 4. Fill in the same name as the existing spouse > 5. FO will add this same person as another spouse Actually, you are adding another *copy* of that person as the spouse. You aren't adding the *exact same record* as a spouse again, which is what Wayne is talking about. If you do as you suggest above, FO should bring up a dialog saying you may have already entered that person. If you tell it to link the person as the spouse, it won't let you do that. - Bruce http://rootsmate.com
