Jennifer, Firstly, in no way are you "causing trouble" this is exactly the sort of question that LUG is about. (Not to mention that I enjoy convoluted problems!)
You are quite correct regarding the example which you give below but I do have difficulty in imagining a situation whereby I would wish to change the details of, say, a father's second marriage to a woman who is not the mother of the person whom I have looked up. There is one exception to this. I am quite sure that the wife I have for one of my grandfathers is a second marriiage and his children are from the first marriage. From the IGI I am also pretty sure of the first name of the woman he first married. If I found the marriage I agree I would not be able to create this from the IGI page and I would have to go to one of the main views. Where two marriages already exist it is, of course, possible to change partners and then edit each from the IGI page. I hope this is clear.
