Re: [LegacyUG] how to combine two family trees

[Cathy Pinner]

Caron,
If you are going from Legacy to Legacy always use a Legacy file unless 
for some reason you need to go to an earlier version of Legacy.


If you import a Legacy tree that has some overlap with the existing 
tree, you then need to use Tools - merge to merge duplicates.


Note there is currently a bug in the merge IF you edit notes within the 
merge to combine information. You can choose to edit one of the people 
during the merge and that's the best way to access and edit notes if 
necessary currently.

Hi Caron,
There is a way to import a gedcom into your existing family tree.
But, I am not sure I understand your question.
If you already have the tree complete, why not just send it to him
before you integrate it with the rest of your work?

One you have integrated it with your existing family file, you can
either send him the whole thing or will have to re-create the gedcom
with just his family in it.

So, first things first.
Here is the Legacy help file that will walk you through the import
https://legacyfamilytree.com/TourImport.asp

Because the initial person is related to your family [husband of your
daughter], you will have to merge him once the tree is imported.

There may be other duplicates if the couple [your son in law and
daughter] have children.

If you want your S-I-L to have all your data, then send him the whole
file, If not, then send the one you made just for him.
Does he have software that will open a gedcom?

You can send a gedcom as an attachment to an email.

Amy,
If you go to Options - Customise 8.13 then you can turn on other Hint
options. There are 4. My Heritage, FindMyPast, Genealogy Bank and
FamilySearch.
FamilySearch hints work differently. They are not searching their databases
but the FamilySearch tree only for those people for whom you've entered the
FamilySearch ID (or the Legacy FamilySearch module has entered it for you
when you confirm people are a match). And then only if FS has hinted to the
FS tree.

My Heritage shows the Hints differently. On the left is your information
that was passed to them to do the search. That's all they use it for. On the
right are Record Matches and Smart Matches if you've left Smart Matches to
trees on.
At Options - Customise 8.13 under MyHeritage are two links. Read them. 
They're mainly about privacy for the living and the way Smart Matches work
in only showing what you already know for the living so you can connect with
other people who have those living in their trees. Note you can turn off the
option to search for Hints for the Living.

Amy there are a lot of genealogists in the world and a lot of information in
the public sphere. Information doesn't have to have come from you or even a
very close relative but once you've given information to other people, they
well may have put it into an online tree.
