How do I connect two existing people on the family tree - as brothers?

Question

Two brothers married into my family tree. They're already in the tree as spouses of my family members. How do I connect them as brothers?

Answer 1

Give one a father, the other a mother.

Then make these parents into each other's partners (as existing on the tree)

You will have to give these brothers each an extra parent, and then you are ready.

(Eventually, if you know data of one of the parents, whilst the other is unknown, you can delete the unknown parent, as the final action. You need them both to perform the magic, haha.)

Is there a video where I can see how it happens? I guess that in my family tree I'll have to do something similar in some point since two different relatives of mine have spouces from the same village and the same surname and if I extend their line at some point I'd have to do some 'merge'...

At this page I visualised the method: easier for those with very little hands-on experience with FamilyEcho!
