Multiple marriages to the same person

[lebjohnson]

I have found a few cases in which a couple marries, divorces, and then remarries. I haven't figured out how to enter this information. Can anyone help me?

Re: Multiple marriages to the same person

Some users handle this situation by simply making a note (a brief explanation) in the family notes field for the couple, or even in a person's note field (either the husband or wife).

And some users record the most recent marriage in the Marriage tab of the Edit Family window, and then record the previous marriage and divorce as events in the Events tab of the Edit Family window.

Re: Multiple marriages to the same person

I've just run across this same scenario and this is what I ended up doing. I entered each marriage as if it was the only marriage. In the first marriage, I put the divorce information. In the second marriage, I put a note in the memo field of the marriage event that reads "remarriage to same person". This way it stays straight in my head.
