I was just commenting as a warning. I have never merged a file with my legacy database.

Put it in another file if you must; download it as a pdf and then review and annotate it, do your research, check things out and if the information is useful - add it in manually yourself ALWAYS thinking about what you are entering - names, locations, facts, sources. You will really regret (and have to spend lots of time doing it over and doing it right) if you take the easy way. I find it really helps to think about what you are doing every step of the way. The problem with downloading into your program and/or automatic merging is that is takes out that "editor" or "eagle eye" aspect. You will also guarantee that your master lists will be a complete and utter mess. Why you would introduce that mess into your data is beyond me. Just my 2 cents.
