	Hi Anne Just had a look at a similar situation in my tree. It isn't actually showing that the new husband is married to your cousin. If you notice, the cousin, wife and new husband are connected by a double line, whereas those that are related ie. kids, are connected by a single line. In my tree the wife is way over to the side as she had 13 children altogether! When adding a child, add it to the father concerned and not the mother....well in this case anyway!
