How do you handle the cross overs in your tree?

Question

I have a point in my tree where the same person shows up in 2 different branches. A daughter goes one way and the son goes the other but then down the branch their gg grandkids come together. How do you input this into your trees? I know how it looks in Ancestry but am unsure on how to handle it here, do I just input it the same?

Answer 1

It will be the same here as it is on Ancestry.  The person is one person, whose descendants later marry.  On Ancestry and WikiTree, you will see him (or them) twice in the relevant pedigree(s).

Cool thanks, I have a couple of spots where that happens but wanted to make sure before I enter to much in.

Answer 2

Each person has only one profile, and they are connected to each other by family relationships. As you input each one and connect them to their parents, siblings will automatically be associated. As long as you cite the sources it will all work out.

I did connect them to the one spot, I haven’t gotten that far in the other. I wanted to be sure. Thanks :)
