Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 2 Send Message	I have found an exact match with another member and wisk to add the extra information from his tree. Is it posible to link both trees on this site or do I have to extract the information from the members tree and move it over into my tree?

	Quite rightly in my opinion because some people were copying over living people. Besides, shouldn't you check the other persons research is correct? Everyone makes mistakes you know.
