Double Cousins

Martin, Lyndlee Ann

My grandparents when they married were cousins. So, they have many of the same relatives, specifically my 2nd great grandparents. When I look at their records it shows that there is a data problem because of it being a reoccurring person in my family tree. Is there a way to fix it to show that the family tree is correct and there are no mistakes?

My grandparents are also cousins as well as having several other relationships. It's not THAT element that causes a problem in the FSFT profiles. If you want someone to take a look to see what may be causing the problem, you could post the PID of the relevant profile.

@Martin, Lyndlee Ann I have the same situation. Indeed, when cousins marry, the Landscape tree view will show a data problem for "Reoccurring Person." To fix it:

1. Show the Landscape tree view for your grandparents. This should show a red exclamation point icon for a data problem on each of their common grandparents.
2. Click on one of the red exclamation point icons. That will pop up a dialog showing the data problem.
3. Click on the Reoccurring Person item in the middle of the dialog. This will cause a DISMISS button to appear. Click it.
4. Enter the explanation for why you are dismissing the data problem. Then click the DISMISS button, and the data problem icon will go away.
5. Repeat for the other grandparent.
