I've put this into my tree, and now her name appears twice, with "(5)" written after each. I was hoping for ONE mention of her name, and then the three partners stemming off that! sorry if this sounds complicated but that's for reading this - Julia xx

	Sounds like something has been put in wrongly somewhere. The way to enter the info is to add a partner and then any children. Click on her name again and add the next partner and children, continue like that until all the names have been entered. Tou might well need to delete all the children and their fathers then start again. Glen
