My Ancestor was married twice. His first wife died after his second marriage date. Both marriages took place in Scotland so polygamy was not a factor. I am curious to learn more about the two wives and children from both. just seems like both marriages should be shown in the timeline of his life. Same issue for the new "discover Person page" on the FH blog.

    My 3rd great grandfather was married 3 times. All 3 wives show in his timeline. PID LHJ8-NZQ

    If the information has been entered - if both wives are listed - then both should show in his timeline. I've seen a couple of strange occurrences in timelines lately. If you care to share the PID (the identifying number for the person), perhaps we can see if there is a problem.

    @Irvinejaykeith1

    Thank you for posting in the Community about the timeline showing only one wife of your ancestor. The timeline deals with dates. Is there a marriage date showing for the first wife?

    We need to know the name and ID number of the individual, in order to help you further.

    We look forward to helping you with this timeline issue, if needed.
