Thanks for the replies. I have always set up a new file to import the other person's gedcom to with a , but what I failed to do was to edit out their source material before merging the individuals I wanted to my master file. I always autosource it with the name of the person from whom I get the gedcom, which appears as an unspecified source in my sources list for every field but all the other persons sources get added to my list as well. Now I will know enough to make sure I remove all their sources before merging with my master file. Sandra
