It will be fine to go ahead with the merge of Hugh Hamilton. I see Archibald will also need merging and other siblings of Hugh. I'll let you go ahead as you seem to know what you are doing. Coralie Smith
Whatever works best for you, Keith. When I first uploaded my tree here, It kept me busy ( I had to check all my notes that got imported but that depends on the settings of your software).
Now I find it easier just to research in one browser, enter the profile in another browser one by one as I work on my new additions. Then about once every six months, I download a gedcom from here to my desktop. That's my method but I do not have a big tree.
Glad you joined WikiTree, Keith ! Glad to hear you got some help already.

This profile has a transcirption error copied into her last name at birth.
Could you please change her LNAB to Cawthorne as per her baptism record, or add me as manager to her trusted list and I'll take care of it.
Thanks
