I've hit a problem as my great great grandfather's second wife was his second cousin and had the same surname as him, so when I try to add her surname a pink message comes up telling me to add her maiden name not her married name. I've emailed the help desk but just wondered if anyone else has sussed out how this can be overcome,?

How do I find a burial place?

thanks, actually I've managed to add her right maiden name bu putting her dad in and changing her name to Ann Lumb as his daughter and it then meant I could add her maiden name to John Lumb's record, it fooled the software by doing it that way it would seem. Now I've got my tree on ancestry I don't use genesreunited as much, they're quite similar and I can flit between the records as easily.
