<<So my question is; if I hit “merge” at this point will all the family members on the right side that aren’t on the left but copied to the left record, or do I have to add them manually? I have checked the help file as well as the archives but I haven’t been able to clearly determine if Legacy automatically does this or not. Can anyone help?>>
The merge process is entirely under your control. You can select a manual merge option, and the two you select are presented for merging. You can say "merge" or "skip" (not the exact words, but you will know). On each merge the program looks around for other possible merges, and presents them. You can end the merge at any time you have done enough. If there are identical people to merge (including the same notes and events), the program offers to go through the remaining merges and do them automatically, and if the information is identical with good birth information, it will merge them. I have never had a problem with the program doing the merging. But each step is entirely under your control, after the automatic merge which you have to initiate. Use the copies as suggested, and if you go too far, just start over. Try it, you will like it!
