Charts - all relatives

Given that there are many "families" with shared parents (remarriage, illegitmacy etc.) it is very frustrating to be limited to ONE spouse, and then go to as many separate charts as there are spouses. Would it be possible to show ALL spouses (spice?) on one chart as an option? It would make life an awful lot easier, for example, when researching a man who married FIVE times and trying to check for parents of all his own children vs his step-children. This is an extreme but I routinely come across people who have married at least twice.

I'm moving this to the General forum until we've explored whether what you want is possible with the current facilities.

If FH V7 there is the
All Relatives + Indirect Relatives Diagram and a revised
Everyone Diagram that do include all relatives, including all spouses, and spouses of spouses with all their parents, etc.
Even in FH V6, multiple spouses of direct relatives are included in an
All Relatives diagram.
So perhaps you are talking about spouses of spouses of direct relatives and their parents?
However, I suspect the most satisfactory solution is to upgrade to FH V7.
Please attach some screenshots of your problem and it may be possible to advise of better options in FH V6.
e.g. A screenshot of the Property Box of the person with many spouses and a screenshot of their Diagram.
