Re: [LegacyUG] Combining two files
Pat, Works best for me to use the split screen view, pedigree view, and find someone who is in both files, if possible. Drag and drop from the same person in the left file to the one on the right. Review ALL the options for merging to make sure you get everything. Do not stop the merging procedure before it is completed! Then do file Maintenance as soon as you have completed the merging.

[LegacyUG] Combining two files
I have two separate files -- one for my paternal side, the other for my maternal side. I am trying to find -- without success -- in Legacy Help how to do that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Combining two files
What you first need to do is import one file into the other by going to File Import. *Then* you merge the duplicates. Before importing, back up the file you're importing into (File Backup File) So look up Import first, then Merge (I can't give you specifics right now since I'm doing an update) Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 5:00 PM, Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com wrote: Try the word: Merging then look for Merging Family Files - Best Practices ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com - On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 5:19 PM, Pat Hickin pph...@gmail.com wrote: I have two separate files -- one for my paternal side, the other for my maternal side.
