That's great thankyou Cathy. I will give that a go and probably make a note of those that need to be imported. Could I then create a file of only those needled and import those as a gedcom.

I'd open both to Index View and sort Index View the same way so you can see if there are people in the right file that aren't in the left file. If there are, you can drag and drop from one file to the other - but you have to move from Index View to Family View to do that. If you choose to import the other files into your new Master then yes you'll need to use merge and yes you'll have 1000s of records to merge. There isn't a way to set the options to cut that down much. I doubt you'll be able to use the Intellishare option as you seem to have been uploading and downloading from Ancestry - but you could try.
