Forum Newbie Gamma Customers GenoPro version: 3.1.0.1 Last Login: Monday, April 6, 2026 Posts: 4, Visits: 15	Can someone guide me in how to structure the genogram to show that both my parents were married before, where my mother had a son from the previous marriage, got divorced, married my father, and my father adopted my mother's son (my brother). It's not presenting the way I had envisioned it. The genogram keeps wanting to display that my brother is the offspring of my father, my mother's second husband instead of her first husband. Thanks!

In this case, it is my brother who was adopted by my father and he has 3 kids and several grandchildren so I would not be able to fit that in. I found this example (https://genopro.com/help/hyperlinks/), but it too has the same visual limitation while the hyperlinking does help: If I decide to do as this and your image displays, can you walk me through how I do that? When I have tried to add additional mates/children the linking never wants to stick and it keeps wanting to change requiring I keep fixing it. I'm probably doing something wrong. Thank you again for all your help.
