Today I was attaching a child to a parent and got this popup:

What a wonderful experience to see both sets up parents and be able to select between the two sets!

Its also great that you have highlighted (with light grey) the currently selected parents.

Could you also tweak this to have a visual queue if there were 3 or 4 sets of parents to select from? If there were 3 sets of parents in the above example, it would be helpful to have a linemarker between each of the sets of parents. -- without a linemarker, you have no visual queue of which 2 individuals are a couple without mousing over every parental group.

Regardless of future changes, this is awesomely helpful.

    Just a snap observation (based simply on assumptions from the single image above) - you may wish to Merge Laura E Holland (assume married name) with Laura Essie Nunlee (assume full maiden name).

    If these are indeed the same Laura's - then you would still have the black tab to select the husband you want to link to the different source records (depending who is named at the time of the record.)

    On James Lee's details under Parents and Siblings, at the pencil edit tab, then up to each of his parent sets - you can denote an actual Relationship type: Adoptive, Biological, Foster, Guardian, Step.

    Even more fun details in FamilySearch!
