When I add a fact like, birth, death or marriage to a person, sometimes it shows up on a family members profile as birth-sibling, death-father or the like, but sometimes it does not show up on the other family members. How do I make that happen?

On the Edit Person screen … uncheck Show Relative Events

Perhaps they don’t share the same two parents?

Family members facts will only appear if they are during the person’s lifetime.

Thank you. I guess I actually want this checked on, but I wasn’t even aware of the option.

Thank you for the suggestion, but they do share the same parents. Turns out that the sibling died AFTER the person I was interested in, so the death of sibling doesn’t show up.

Thank you so much! That was the answer for the case I was working on.
