Thanks for the reply Wendy - what I don't have on the data base is David Smith (the first cousin of Simon Smith) - I want to enter him so he comes up as Simon's first cousin rather than enter him as just a separate person - but for the life of me my mind is not working as to how to connect them as cousins given that I don't have parents for either.
Hopefully I am making sense.

Hi June, So you've got everyone entered into your database, but you haven't yet linked Simon SMITH to his wife Hannah JONES? With Simon in the spouse area in Family View, right-click in the wife's area and then click on "Add a wife", and then in the next window that appears, click on "Link to an EXISTING person". You'll then see the Name List, where you can navigate to Hannah and select her. Alternatively, you can right-click on Simon and select Add > Wife. Or, via the menus, click on Add > Add Wife. Or, via keyboard shortcuts, press AW (for Add Wife). Whichever route you take, the key is to link to an existing person, instead of adding a new person. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy June wrote on 24/02/2016 16:46: > For some reason I'm afraid I'm having a mental block and am a bit lost > at how to enter some data on.
