Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 2 Send Message	I have been really fortunate in finding a relation who has carried out a lot of work on their family tree. I have been given permission to use and copy this tree into my own. Is it possible to import and amalgamate another tree?

	I think you will need to amalgamate using offline genealogy software (such as Family Tree Maker etc) and then upload the tree as a whole. You cannot do it with the GR software as far as I am aware. Liz

	Two bits of advice before you start - back up your own data - check that the new data is accurate before combining it with your own tree
