Hi My paternal grandmother and her sister married two brothers. Is there a straightforward way to show this in my tree?

Which program are you using?

Sort of, for most programs. Try a descendent tree from the parents of the paternal grandmother. This will show both sisters and their husbands. What won't be obvious that the husbands are siblings. You could do it for the paternal grandfather parents also.

Some programs do have a all in one tree which will show everybody in your database.

Thank you for your speedy response

The program I am using is the Ancestry Family Tree.
I have loaded the information but as you indicate the brothers are not evident.
It is getting a bit tricky as the sisters' maiden name is actually the same as the brothers' sirname. I believe there is a family connection and this is part of the reason I am researching to try to find out how distant (or not) the connection is.
Thanks again

do two entires for one of the siblings, one as spouse and one as sibling. then go into the profile of one of the entries and click the "more options" menu (next to print) click "merge with duplicate" and follow the steps.

Same thing in my family. It shows just like it should on Ancestry.com, although it can be a bit hard to follow all the horizontal lines across the page. Changing the focus person sometimes helps the view, otherwise I haven't noticed any issues with it. ??? what exactly is the problem?
