Hi list, A bit of technical information if anyone can help please. I have recently come across a printed Family Tree where the various marriages are shown in three ways. 1. Fred Bloggs m Lovely Rita 2. Fred Bloggs = Lovely Rita 3. Fred Bloggs m/ Lovely Rita (In this third instance the forward slash is superimposed on top of the small letter m, as if crossing it out.) The first two formats I have come across before but not the third. I'm wondering if this indicates a marriage that ended in divorce ? If not, can anyone please tell me what it does indicate ? Many thanks and best wishes, Tony Burton.

Tony - It sound like a formatting error, perhaps particular to Family Tree Maker software.
