The algorithms necessary to compare each data set and attempt to make intelligent decisions about the duplicity of the information are quite complex and subject to interpretation. webtrees does not currently have this ability, nor is it planned as a module for addition later. To be frank, trying to successfully merge two different data sets is very difficult.
To merge entire family trees (GEDCOMs), you must use other available utilities outside of webtrees. Unfortunately, the following text from their wiki still applies:
I'd suggest that you merge the two trees, as it's trivial to export sub-trees if you ever need it. You can't simply link from one tree to the other, as that's essentially a no-go. Webtrees has separate databases for each GEDCOM. So far, this has seemed the only way not to have to deal with duplicate records. That way if I edit myself, it would edit it in both trees.īasically, what is the standard when it comes to handling this? Is there a way to link that maybe I am missing? Ideally, the link would be set up to link any children I have and automatically add it to the other tree.Īs a last solution, I could just have one huge tree that just includes everyone. So I haven't been able to figure out a way to link myself in my dads tree to myself in my moms tree. (they would be imported as separate GEDCOMs). Now the issue seems to be that family trees are distinct and separate. (later, more trees would be added, for instance, one for my wifes maiden name). The thought was that the family trees would be 'Smith Tree' and 'Doe Tree'. For simplicity, I will call them John Smith and Jane Doe. I would like to use Webtrees but the issue is that the idea of 'Family trees' is so separated that it doesn't seem like a person can be shared between two trees.īasically, what I would like to do is have a tree for my dads last name and my moms maiden last name.
