Yes, Legacy has a very detailed and helpful merging feature. I suggest that you create a Test file from your main family file, run a merge and pay special attention how all the different settings work best. Be sure to review the new file thoroughly. Run File maintenance, etc. If all is well, you have a new merged main family file. If not, delete it and run another test choosing different settings in the merge features. For the last several years, I have chose to enter new people from gedcom or other files one at a time. I find that to be more rewarding as I 'get to know' all the new people! Wish you well, Elizabeth Crauswell Verchio If you ever meet a Crauswell, say Hi! for me, as they are family.
