To add a spouse go up to the far right tool bar at the top of the
program, it is titled "Partner", it will bring up a new window with the
name of your person you are wanting to add a spouse to. There will be
blank side where you fill in the "spouses" information. Click on the
piece of paper and pencil icon next to the blank spot, this will open up
another window where you can add a title such as Rev. first name, a nick
name, suffix such as Jr. or Sr. whether it is a birth name, or
whatever, and a maiden name if it is a woman. To add parents use the
"add" button. To add children so that they can be moved if they are
out of order, open the husbands window, and click on the wife's name (or
marriage if you have added that event, this will open a window that says
Children, Events, sources, sttributes, notes, gallery and LDS hit the +
and add childrens names. Hope this helps. Jean
