i'm going to include a link to the article here just because it's a nice thing to do rachel tzvia back this way if either one of us needs to refer to the article it's only a click away no need to search for the article okay now that that's done you can definitely use the same reference more than once it's easy to do this is covered at wikipedia referencing for beginners but i'll cover the main points here the first time you use a reference it will look something like this the earth is round reference info goes here then when you want to use it again it is mostly covered by water you basically just re use the first part of the reference tag again but put in the ending character and you can definitely say that she is married with three children if you have a reference we often tend to leave out children's names for the sake of the privacy of the child the names of the children of very well known celebrities are often included for example angelina jolie or gwyneth paltrow because the kids names are already mentioned in so many news stories about them but someone who is not quite so famous like back usually has the names left out i hope this helps talk
