What do you mean by "fictional child"? Note that I keep the two sides of my living tree in two separate Gramps tress. My, my wife, my children's names, and those of my parents are in both, but in one they are just stubs; the other has all the Residence data, etc. So, when it's time to merge them for some huge project, I 1) make backups of my two databases, 2) create a new tree (let's call it The One Huge Tree), and 3) import both backup databases into The One Huge Tree. Because some people are in both trees, there will naturally be some duplication in The One Huge Tree. So, I go in and merge the relevant families and people (there are functions in Gramps to merge families, people, events, places, etc). Thus, after about 20 minutes of work, The One Huge Tree has no more duplicates, and it's nice and pretty.
