The only way I've found to fix this problem is to enter dates  so that the
date of the first marriage is before the date of the second or to enter a
death date for the first husband (use abt. xxxx if you have to) and then
enter a marriage date for the second marriage that is aft. xxxx(the death
date of the first husband).  So long as you show the dates to be about or
estimated, you'll know that you need proof of actual dates.  If you have an
actual date for the death of the first husband, then you can estimate fairly
accurately a marriage date for the second husband that is after the death of
the first--unless of course, she was a bigamist--which sometimes happens!

Good luck!
