Yikes! I don't know what I did wrong! I uploaded two gedcoms, synced the profiles, and though the two people are there in the family file I can't link them! I click "marriage," and I start typing the spouse's name, but it doesn't show up! What do I need to do? I refreshed the cache, but nothing. Any suggestions? ~ Lisa

You need to link them as a spouse before you can add the marriage event. From one of the profiles click on "Add New Spouse" in the left hand menu, then when that comes up click on the "Link to Existing Person" button in the upper right - select the spouse and save. Now you can create a Marriage event and they will show up as an option in the link field.

Hope this helps!
