	Hello I am hoping someone can help me. My Grandmother married twice and had children by both marriages. My tree shows her twice and there is a message in the corner of her second marriage stating that. Have I entered the information incorrectly or is that the norm? Other family on my tree who have divorced and remarried are shown as linked. Thanking you in anticipation

	Can you explain a bit more, please? You say "there is a message in the corner of her second marriage" Where exactly? Is this a GR tree? What exactly does the message say?

	If the box of the second entry shows an icon consisting of two sheets of paper which gives the message "This relation is a copy" then that is quite normal. You have not entered anything incorrectly. The copy is a device to keep the full tree as simple as possible avoiding many crossing connecting lines.
