Have you made changes by adding people, or adding data to already existing people? I'm not sure I understand the problem. If you copied your database and then made changes to the copy, why don't you just rename the database. It would have everything you did before the copy and now would be the

I don't think a new source you create, with either source system, would ever automatically attach itself to people in your database, let alone to a specific field (at least I hope it won't). I think you have to cite it manually. Elizabeth researching the descendants of William and Sarah
