Thanks Chris. Along with below and another email from Curtis, I was able to merge the two separate files with success. I took your advice and renamed both files with new names first, then merged the smaller one into the larger one, then renamed it again. Certainly beats pounding the keyboard and re-entering it all manually! Cheers, Alan

Hi I assume that, apart from the common person, the two trees are totally different. In that case there should be no issue with merging the two files, but you will probably then have two trees within the new file since the common person might not get merged. Then just do a manual merge on one of them and select the other one manually, and decide which information to merge. Of course, take backups of both files before you start and make a copy of one of them to use for the merge. That way you keep the current files and get a new merged file until you are happy it is complete.

Based on three DNA test results for myself and two uncles with matches in different countries, I built another tree using the folk we matched until I came to the Most Recent Common Ancestor for all of us. I have confirmed the relationships and DNA matches through traditional charting so now would like to merge the two files now knowing that John Brown was actually born and baptised John GREEN. In summary, I have about 700 people on my main family tree which includes the alias John BROWN and about 80 people on the secondary family tree including the correct birth name of John GREEN. I would like to maintain all the names BROWN that are on my main tree as this is obviously how they were born, baptised, married, known in general, etc. Is there a way to merge the GREEN tree file the BROWN tree?
