Hello I am attempting to assist a friend who has Legacy. I am not at all conversant with Merging, single instances only, or importing a file either gedcom or legacy database.
Recently he was contacted by someone who is of the same tree as him with European roots. On looking at his tree and theirs and the large numbers of surname variants, some of which he had no record of and he therefore decided to start a new database. There were several cases of same surnames marrying with a few years of each other and varying other issues dates etc. which again led him to believe he needed to begin again with a separate tree to assist him to sort them all out. Having now finished this (and finding out he had connected his own line to one of the many same name marriages) he now has a correct tree in the “new” file. His problem is how does he get the new file into his own tree. I have read the Merge files section of help and feel this may not solve the problem as I am not sure that this will cope with the differences, particularly with the names. I hope my explanation is clear enough and would appreciate any advice regarding this problem.
