ask them first if agreed select person in their tree and select copy( you can copy up to ten) reselect your tree and select edit/clipboard and then click on the name then save?
as lindsey says they may not be researched so could be incorrect, always better to have definites?

Good point Lindsey.....I guess the tree is pretty worthless if you can't say you have personally validated it.

You really have to do your own research and add each person one by one, as you can never be sure what you are copying is correct. By all means use the other tree as a guide,

I have been given access to someone's tree where we have a connection in the 1700's. They have significantly more details and people in their tree relevant to my ancestors. Is it pissible to cut and paste in soem way parts of their tree?
