Did you get the file from your cousin, who also uses Heredis and has worked on his side?<\/p>\n<p>2 files cannot be merged.<\/p>\n<p>You can import one file into another, but <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Heredis will not compare the data<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to link the connected persons of the 2 files and merge the duplicates.<\/p>\n<p>Importing a file is irreversible. Once you&#8217;ve done it, there&#8217;s no going back.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore preferable to create a new file and integrate the 2 desired files. This way, you keep the data from the 2 files separate. If you don&#8217;t like the result, you can return them to their original form.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On the Heredis home page, click on <strong>New family file<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Give it a name, choose the storage location.<\/li>\n<li>Then click on the <strong>File menu &gt; Import &gt;Heredis file<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm the message stating that the operation is irreversible.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the file to import.<\/li>\n<li>Click again on the <strong>File menu &gt; Import &gt; Heredis file<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm the message stating that the operation is irreversible.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the file to import.<\/li>\n<li>Link common persons, for example, you and your spouse if the 2 persons did not appear in the 2 files.<\/li>\n<li>Search for duplicates and merge common persons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Merging duplicates is a delicate and time-consuming operation. All data must be checked before merging.<br \/>\nIf merging is possible without too much risk, beyond 4-5 persons, attention gradually decreases and, being human, we tend to validate too quickly during repetitive manipulations.<\/p>\n<p>So please don&#8217;t make too many mergers at once.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the articles that will interest you:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/help.heredis.com\/en\/create-a-new-genealogy-file\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/help.heredis.com\/en\/create-a-new-genealogy-file\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/help.heredis.com\/en\/import-a-heredis-file-in-an-existing-file\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/help.heredis.com\/en\/import-a-heredis-file-in-an-existing-file\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/help.heredis.com\/en\/find-duplicates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/help.heredis.com\/en\/find-duplicates\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/help.heredis.com\/en\/merging-two-persons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/help.heredis.com\/en\/merging-two-persons\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve created your genealogy and that of your spouse in two separate files and you&#8217;d like to put them in [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-use-issues"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How do I merge 2 Heredis files?
