Entering Cousins who have married.

[Steve Buhman]

I have an uncle who is already in my Reunion database. As I am working back through my generations, he will appear again as a spouse to a cousin. Do I just enter him with his info, or is there a special way to double-list the same person?
Thanks,

Steve Buhman

A person should only appear once in your database, or put another way, you should have only one entry for any one person.

If he's already entered as your uncle, then when you are entering your cousin's marriage, you will add him to that marriage as an "existing spouse". If you search the manual for "Marrying Two People Who Were Entered Separately" you will find various ways to do that.
