[Phpgedview-talk] Merge records between two trees on the same site

[Nathan S. H. <nat...@uk...>]

I'm setting up a tree for someone else that has links to my own tree. As
a result, there are individuals that are present in both our trees. For
example I01 in tree 1 is the same as I100 in tree 2. However, the editor
of tree 1 has more knowledge of this person as they are a direct
descendant, so I'd like to make a link from I100 in tree 2 to I01 in tree 1.

Can this be done by merging the records? If so can I confirm what is
meant by "from" and "to" when creating links and merging data? Merging
data "from" one record "to" a second record suggests that the "to"
record will have data overwritten. In the linking instructions:
http://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php/How_To:Remote_Link_Individuals_Across_Websites_And_Databases#Linking_databases_on_the_same_site

It sounds like the "to" data is the source from which to get the info
for that individual. If this is the case, "from" and "to" have a
slightly different and confusing meaning between the merging of records
and the linking of records.

Some clarification would be appreciated.

Cheers
Nathan
