Thanks for the pointer, Jennifer. I've only been using Legacy for a few months, so still finding my way around.
Connie and Ron, yes, I can see your point and I will certainly bear that in mind. I guess another thought is giving the other person credit for having done the work, too. But I still feel the need to consider where the other person claims to have got their information, when making a decision to choose their data or mine when merging individuals. I found it might be possible to do this in a further split screen. Back to that steep learning curve.!
