Before even thinking about a merge I would load the GEDCOM (or other family file) into a standalone Legacy database and clean it up as much as possible first (such as putting names locations, and sources you want to keep in the format you want). It will make any eventual merge go much smoother. If you have imported already it may be too late to do this. -- Dennis M.
