I really fail to understand the confusion. You have an active person: the person whose name is on top of the Relationship view. Then you e.g. add a relationship. This invokes the Family Editor dialog. Assuming the active person was male, the dialog will look like this: http://www.gramps-project.org/gramps-manual/2.2/en/resources/edit-family.png (if active person was female then in the dialog Father will be empty with + and select buttons, and Mother will have a - button, accordingly). Do you find the screenshot confusing? It clearly has Father with data and Mother with +/select buttons and no data. The help clearly says "use select button for existing person, use + button for new person". To "marry two existing persons", you click the select button for the Mother and select the Mother for an existing Father. I am at a loss as to how the text is not clear or how the Type selection interferes with that. I also don't see how Children enter into this: their set of buttons are clearly separate, under the Chidren tab. Before we start talking about fixing anything, I'd really like to understand the problem. -- Alexander Roitman http://www.gramps-project.org
