Discovery of new brother/sister relationship previously unknown

[AnneM]

I am fairly new to Reunion and am a bit stuck and would be grateful for some help.

My grandfather has a sister who married William Day
My grandmother has a brother who married Sarah Day
I have just discovered that William and Sarah are brother and sister

I do not have any ancestors recorded yet for William and Sarah specifically, but have traced my grandparents and their siblings several generations back.

I am not sure how to proceed as William and Sarah appear in Reunion in different branches of the family. I guess the answer will be simple but I just cannot see it. I have not tried to correct this myself as I am afraid I could end up with more of a problem. I hope I have explained this well enough.

I am not sure how to proceed ...

Go to William's card, and add a new father. If you don't know his father's name, use "UNKNOWN" or "[?]" or whatever you like for his first name.

Then add Sarah as a child of the unknown father. (Add Female Child from the Sidebar from the family view, or just locate Sarah in the sidebar and drag her from the sidebar to the family view in the children box.)

When you find out William and Sarah's mother and father's names, you can add them in, but in the meanwhile you'll show them as brother and sister.
