How do I merge a person in my tree with a new person in another tree (not present when I made my record)?

Question

Merging Niels Mikkelsen Hase with Niels Mikkelsen Hase.

Erik:

Welcome to G2G and thank you for your contributions to the WikiTree.

I've looked at the situation and it seems to be that you would like to merge Hase-17 into Mikklesen Hase-1.  If that is correct, then the solution is to use the "Add" pull down menu at the upper right of this or any WikiTree Page and drop down to "Matches & Merges".

The screen there will allow you to enter the WikiTree ID's of the two profiles (I've listed them above).  You should then follow the on-screen instructions or prompts until you complete the process as much as you are allowed.  For profiles which you manage, or which are open. any WikiTree genealogist who has signed the Honor Code should be able to do the entire merge.

Thanks for the question - I hope the answer helps,

Keith

You're quit right. That was the person I needed to merge to my tree. When I recorded my Niels Mikkelsen Hase, no match was suggested. When I later recorded his great-great-grandfather Niels Hase, the other Niels Mikkelsen Hase appeared as a match suggestion - it was of course not right as there was more than 100 years between them. But I immediately knew, that other connection.

Thanks a lot
