Merging data from different sources

[emyoulation]

When you do an import, Gramps will always create new ID’s, so all persons, places, and other objects that you both have will appear as duplicates in the merged database, which will then sort of have two trees, when you see a tree as a cloud of connected people.

The Import Merge actually allows IDs to be kept during import of a revised .gramps/.gpkg file. (Can’t say what it does with Internal Gramps Handles.)

It seems like it might be worth experimenting with the scheme of separate collaborator ID ranges.
