    Some people show up multiple times in my ancestry. I cannot find out how to print each different line. Spoke to LDS twice. Suggestions?

    @RonaldDinkel You can print 4 generations of any person in Family Tree by opening their profile page, and then in the right hand column under Print, choose Pedigree.

    I can see my wife's tree with my tree opening to me.... it displays both mine and hers.. I had to add her to me in FamilyTree, which I did, I guess, over 15 years ago.

    You can see your husbands tree by adding by typing in... your living husband to yourself in Family Tree, and then if any either of his parents are still living... add them as parents to him... and then attach those parents to their deceased parents in Family Tree.

    More simply put, you have to manually type in your living husband and any still living ancestors and then attach those oldest living ancestors to their deceased parents in your husband's tree.

    That is called pedigree collapse. It is very common, especially in families in small communities for many generations.

    I cannot find out how to print each different line.

    On the Family Tree web interface (not mobile app) go to the profile Details page of each ancestor and in the right side menu use any of the 5 print options.
