Hi James, You import one file into the other. File - Import - Legacy file Make sure you have current backups of both before you start so if you do go wrong you can start again with more experience.
It's after the import that you merge the people who are the same. This shouldn't be hard in a small file as you'll know the people in common. You may want to start by doing a Manual Merge of yourself, if you're in both files, to get an easy intro to the Merge dialogue. The difference between a Manual Merge and a Find Duplicates is that in Manual Merge you choose the two people in the file that are really the same person and in Find Duplicates, Legacy presents possible pairs according to the set criteria.
