I have a confusing enough tree with cousins marrying each other in every generation but Ancestry seems to have just made the problem a whole lot more confusing for me.
When first cousins marry, their marriage and off spring now appear under both people/areas of the tree e.g william case marries his first cousin ellen goold (they are both my 1st cousins x times removed) so in one place william is shown as my cousin and Ellen as wife of my cousin but move along the tree until you get to Ellen and here she is shown as my cousin and william as husband of cousin but all their children are shown in both places. And when those children go and marry another first cousin off the tree it is a recipe for chaos on Ancestry. This tree looks like a railway map with lines going everywhere.
I don't remember Ancestry doing this before or have I just been unobservant or is this one of their improvements? It is happening on both the old and new site.
Any suggestions as to how I can stop it would be gratefully received.
