I am deeply confused by my apparent ancestry and could use some suggestions on using Legacy to clarify the picture for me. I have several families that intermarried and pretty much every woman is named Marie. Between the duplicate names and the criss-crossing marriages, I'm having a difficult time seeing the big picture. The mess started when I discovered that I'm a direct descendant through both wives of an ancestor born in 1613.
Francois Gautreau - 10th great-grandfather 1st wife: Marie Unknown - 10th great-grandmother - Marie Gautreau Potet - 9th GGM 2nd wife: Edmee LeJeune - 10th great-grandmother - Marie Gautreau Theriault - 9th GGM The two lines merge at my 5th great-parents. Before and after this generation, I have some uncles marrying neices and other joins which make my tree more like a pretzel. I suspect this is probably not an uncommon scenario, so would those with a similar situation please point me to any Legacy feature that will help me get a better handle on this.
