(Apologies in advance for the long question.) I'm having trouble figuring out how to arrange part of a family tree while following genogram rules. The situation: - 1st-born has 2 girls (A & B)
- 2nd-born has 2 boys (C & D)
- A weds E (unrelated), then D (cousin)
- C weds F (unrelated), then A (cousin)
I've drawn up several possible solutions, and all of them have problems. See the image below:  TREE 1. Genogram rule #1 ( husband left/wife right) isn't easily doable for the cousin spouses, because the fathers follow rule #4 ( siblings left-to-right by age). I positioned the non-related spouses correctly though. PROBLEM: Can't decipher marriage orders for A & C, as spouses bracket them, rather than being in order to one side. TREE 2. I simply added number labels to the previous tree for clarification. PROBLEM: I tend to put marriage age here, if I have it, so the spot's not always free. TREE 3. Everyone positioned as in previous two trees, but I've tiered the marriage lines to show order. PROBLEM: It seems space-wasty? But decipherable, I guess. TREE 4. Reverse rule #1, just for the cousins and their spouses (i.e. put wives at left). PROBLEM: The inconsistency bothers me. All other wives are on right. But it works. TREE 5. Ignore genogram rule #4 (sibling order) for the fathers instead. PROBLEM: Again, it works, but the inconsistency bugs me. TREE 6. Just for amusement's sake, I followed all rules (wife at right, birth order, spouses in order). PROBLEM: Such a mess! I had to, like, loop-de-loop the older daughter, and do a lot of line-crossing. So! I guess my question is, which of the above trees (or none, I suppose) is most correct, following genogram rules. (And common sense rules. Because tree 6. Urgh.) (ETA: Have I even posted this in the right place? Not sure it's a 'technical support question'? Sorry if not. Feel free to delete and I'll repost... somewhere else.)

One solution is to create hyperlinks for Beth and Dave. These can be emphasised as being the same person with an 'Associate With' Social Relationship.
