Siblings without parents can be entered as such :-)

Select the Family tab and have the first child as either the husband or
wife.
Now, double-click on the father or mother above the child. You'll get blank
parents with the child now in the children section at the bottom. You'll now
be
able to right-click on the child and add a brother or sister.
