Before merging with your data, make gedcom of that branch from your stuff. Send to them. When merging the 'new' stuff, there is an option to mass add a source to all downloads. I always download a batch to a temp file, fix place names the way I like them.Rich in LA CA

My cousin has given me a gedcom file on my dad's side of the family which he has researched and it has quite a bit of information I lacked. However, I also have information that he does not have and I intend on merging the two files together. The question is this: I would like to give him credit for his research (however, it would have been better to have the actual sources he used, but I will just have reference his name because he did not cite the specific sources). I also want to include my source information when I combine the files. I do NOT want to populate every source field, just the ones that have information. Is there an easy way to combine these files and include his name for the things he contributed and my name and sources for the things I contributed?
