How to add a second wife to family tree
I have searched the "help" menu but could not find anything on it. I saw no option when in the "Person" for that person to enter a second wife so perhaps there isn't one? Thanks

@DavidLeonard52 DavidLeonard52 You can add several spouses. There is a link to ‘Add Spouse’ just above the couple box on the left side of the Family Members section on the person’s Details page. Let us know if you need more help.

This was refenced, in a 'Question', you recently asked, on 9 January this year ...
.
Can I add a second spouse to my tree, and if so, how
.
Further to what 'Patricia' has already proffered ..
.
FYI
.
You can have up to 200 Spouses/Wives/Partners/Whatever ...
.
On Your "Person/Details" page/screen ...
.
Go down to the last Section ... that being the "Family Members" (Section)
.
You should 'see' the "+ Spouse" Button/link, just above your "Name".
.
Select that "+ Spouse" Button/link; and, go from there.
.
Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

Yes, I saw that and tried to use it, but it places her as my current wife and not a second (previous) wife. I should have been more specific with "second wife" in my question. What I am trying to do is list my past wives for complete family history information. I don't want to replace my current wife. Is there a way to do that

FYI
.
For Spouses/Wives/Partners/Whatever to be in the CORRECT "Order" ...
.
There NEEDS to be (ie. MUST be) an (Couple) "Event" with a 'Date".
.
That "Event" can be:
▬ Marriage; or,
▬ Common Law Marriage; or,
▬ Lived Together
.
IF, there is NO (Couple) "Event" (eg. "Blank");THEN, the Spouses/Wives/Partners/Whatever WILL be OUT of "Order".
.
And ...
.
IF, there IS a (Couple) "Event"; but, NO 'Date', for one or more; THEN, the Spouses/Wives/Partners/Whatever, also, WILL be OUT of "Order".
.
I hope this helps.

Yes Brett, I know it was referenced earlier. But, at that time I did not understand that I needed to create a "couples relationship" first and get the order correct. I still have a "couples mismatch" that I have not figured out yet but will keep looking at it and try to get it right. Thanks for all your help.

None of these work. I still can not add my second spouse. The app must be different than the computer program

@Anita2166 On the app, you go to the person and switch to the "spouses" tab. Scroll past the first wife and any children, and you will see an "Add Spouse" button. If you wish, you may then click on one of the spouses and select "Preferred spouse", which will set them as the spouse that is shown on the tree.
