It's fairly straight forward. The main problem with merging is when you have lots of names to merge together and some of the details differ, you can end up with duplicates if you don't know what you are doing. |

I have 2005, so this may not still be the way, but under "File" on the menu, I have "Append/Merge". Select this from with one of the files, choosing the other when prompted. You will then have to tell it which individuals are actually the same people (one from each tree), rather than just someone with the same name (under "People" choose "Merge two specific individuals". |

I'm on a much older version, but since you have no replies as yet, I'd suggest that you follow the maxim that if it can go wrong, it will - and so the idea that springs to mind is to export a Gedcom from one tree to form a new tree, and then see if you can export a Gedcom from the other tree into the new tree? |
