I have a complicated situation in my family tree.

I have a great uncle, let's call him John, he and his wife (We'll call her Suzie) got married fresh out of highschool. They got a divorce about five years later, Suzie took their son (John Jr) and they both married other people.

Well, then John and Suzie started having an affair. John's wife found out and left him. Suzie divorced her 2nd Husband.

John and Suzie got Remarried, John adopted Suzie's kids from her other relationship, and they had another kid.

It's a mess, and I'm not sure how to handle it in this program. Is there a way to indicate that they Divorced, married other people, divorced those people, then got married to each other again?

Showing current and former partners is supported in Family Echo, and adding dates for the start and end of partnerships is supported. But I don't think there is a way to record previous patnerships with the same person.

If it were me, I would make biographical notes for each of them stating that they had been married to eachother previously, and recording the relevent infomration in the notes.
