Comparing 2 gedcom files/trees and resulting with the difference:)

The result with a possibility of making a tree (of the result) which gives me a chance to merge the result with my tree

That could be nice 🙂

There will never be a “merge” facility developed in kiwitrees. It is simply not practical. For more information about this see: http://kiwitrees.net/?p=4267

But you do have existing features that can be easily used for what you describe.

1 – Append family tree. Use this to combine your two trees into one single tree.

2 – Find duplicates. Use this to find the likely duplicates in your new tree.

3 – Merge duplicates (directly linked to “Find duplicates”) to merge each duplicate into a single record.

Was not a combine I wished for. But a compare 🙂

But no worries – I just make a wish 🙂

I know. But you will never get that, so I offered an alternative that you already have, which will achieve the same or very similar result.

Yes I know this function. But not good if we talk about big gedcom files. This is good if I want to compare my tree with a smaller gedcom file.
