symbols/icons on my family tree
Looking closer at my tree & at my wife's tree I find indications that I do not understand. Looking in the version 5 manual I cannot find an answer.
What are these little ovals supposed to represent & where can I find a discussion about them? thanks...jack-

They indicate a couple that also appear elsewhere in your tree. Follow the "ribbon" from the oval and it will lead you to the other place they appear.

Yes, I see that. How do I remove/control them?

Sailor,
When viewing the diagram click on "diagram" on the top toolbar [or right click on the diagram itself].
Then select "options" at the bottom of the list presented.
then on the "general" tab untick the box "check for duplicates"

Re: symbols/icons on my family tree
Those duplication coloured ribbons can be an indication of mistakes in your tree.
They indicate that there is inter-marriage between ancestral branches such as between cousins.
If you don't think you should have such relationships then just hiding the coloured ribbons is not the best solution.
