Three Pane Merge Window

Merging in new Parents


There is a notification that the merge has started.
After a bit there is a notification that the merge has completed, and the display is updated with the results:

Left (Base), Middle(Output), Right(Change Source):



Notice that we now have acquired new information for the parents (George IV and Elizabeth Angela...) and also gotten the information for Elizabeth II's sister in that same family, Margaret Rose.

Notice, also, that the events associated with the family have also been brought over

Each time a new person is added from the change source tree to the merge output tree the program looks to see if there is any possible ambiguity.  There would be such an ambiguity if the new person already existed in the base tree, but in a different place.  In that case you would be presented with a choice like the following one (which would have happened if we didn't mark Queen Elizabeth II as matched before we did this merge):

It is asking us if the old Queen Elizabeth II and the new Queen Elizabeth II are the same person or not.  Since they are the same person we select the old (yellow for coming from the base file) Queen Elizabeth II as the match.

Now that this merge has taken place, all differences for this page are resolved.  What about other differences for this person?

We can look for more unresolved differences about Queen Elizabeth II by pressing the "Find Unresolved Difference" button again.  It takes a while to look, but there will be no more differences found in this example. Since there are no differences found, we see the following notifier:


It is appropriate at this point that we mark Queen Elizabeth II as done.  Doing so will close this Three-pane Merge Window.

Press "Next->" below to see a discussion of the results and continue to other merge scenatios.
