    Merging Family Files

    I wish to merge two family files - mine and my wife's. My wife is entered in my family file, as are our children, my wife's ancestors are not. Conversely, my name is included in my wife's family file, as are our children, my ancestors are not. How can I combine these two family files?

    Re: Merging Family Files

    You can import one file into the other and then use the match and merge functions to combine the duplicate people. Or, what I would probably do is delete you, your wife, and your children from your wife's file, import it into yours, and then link your wife's parents to her. The choice of method will depend on what you're more comfortable focusing your efforts on.

    It's always a good idea to have family file backup copies, but I make point of making backups before doing something like this so I can revert to them if something goes wrong.
