I would say you definitely want to end up with one combined file. (And if it only comprises 130 individuals it is minute, not huge! My file has about 3,000 people and that's quite small compared to some.) You say there are no later or earlier connections, but are you sure. Unless the two families came from entirely different areas there is always a chance that there could have been an inter-marriage somewhere along the line. And if these are your grandparents then at least one of your parents and you and any children you might have must be connected to them. Sometimes in my research I come across a time when 2 of my relatives from quite different branches of my family were living in the same street - I think these little discoveries are fun. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
