Hello. I would like to know if there’s a way to get multiple xml node with same name and store them by group? See example below for the xml:

 Julie Monty Clark Isabel Clarice Robert Jesse Marie Juliana Bart Margie Mario 

What I want to accomplish here is to group each and store them in a variable (1 variable = 1 contents). Thank you and I hope my question is not confusing.

Hello Irtetala,  
I just noticed that my question lacks structure so please see the screenshot below

 ![uipathforum](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/1/1/8/1189fb535b1ce2df82bede1372e06b559df24aac.png)

I want to store each family node (which has 3 family components) in a variable so that if ever I want to access a particular family node, I can do it easily. I hope that it’s clear.
