I've looked high and low, but I cannot see a field to add a marriage event.
Yes, I clicked on the Event dropbox, but it does not list a marriage.
- This sounds like the question should have been posted on WeRelate Talk:Support. The marriage information is stored on a Family page, which connects two Person pages: the husband and the wife. After editing the Person page for, say, the husband, and saving, there is a link on the right side to "Add another spouse & children". If you click this link it will allow you to create a Family page corresponding to one marriage. You may need to create multiple Family pages if the person had multiple marriages, one for each. On the family page is where you will find a field for the marriage date (or divorce) and where you add children for that pair of parents.
- This is standard computer design for what is called a many-to-many relationship. A husband may have multiple wives, and any or all of his wives may have multiple husbands, i.e., many to many. The Family page documents their relationship just to each other, while the Person page documents the facts that are true about just the person, such as birth and death and other Family pages document their relationship to other wives or husbands. Some genealogy website hides this design but it makes the software more complicated and would make it more likely that there would be edit conflicts in a multi-user environment like WeRelate. It becomes second nature with a little practice. --Jrich 00:27, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
I am archiving this suggestion, as the question and answer have been copied to the Support page.--DataAnalyst 22:36, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
