Some of my female cousins appear under their married name. The parents are the same. How to connect them to my tree?

The fact that some have married names has no real bearing on what you need to do. You just have to add the relationships for each person. You can either add parents to a child or a child to parents. Here are links to the instructions.Did this answer the question?YesNoQuoteDislike2LikeAwesomeLog0 -
dancingintherain✭✭✭8:01AMedited 8:20AM67.215.16.131When adding my female ancestors, I always try to use their birth surname if I know it. When a woman marries and changes her surname to her spouse's, always enter her maiden name. I then add her full name (that includes her married name) in the alternate name on her person's page. That way, her family (parents, grandparents, siblings) with her maiden name stay searchable and generate record hints that can be attached to her. Adding her married name as an alternate name will also connect her to her spouse and his family, along with any children they may have. Here is a help article that may help you understand how to enter family names in your tree.How do I Enter Family Names in Family Tree?0
