Hi I was just wondering if it is possible to merge other trees with your own without inputing data manually.

Thanks

Hi,.
Most family tree programs will allow you to do that.

Why on earth would you want to merge or C&P someone else's tree?
Copying causes more problems on here than just about anything else.
If you just copy you don't know if the information is correct & you certainly learn nothing about your ancestors.

If you look at the General board you will see a similar query from someone called Matthew.

I recommend you read the replies to that one too.
