All you need to do is "Merge" your great-great grandfather's two wives (with the same name). Then your great-grandfather & his brother would properly show as brothers.

The "Match/Merge" button is near the right side of the row of buttons at the top of the PAF screen (2 buttons to the left of the temple). Or you can select Match/Merge from the pull-down TOOLS Menu.

Follow the instructions on each dialogue screen, and you should have no problem. I find it easier to write down the two RIN numbers that I want to merge, and use the RIN numbers to identify the duplicate individuals.
