Hi
I think the development of this merge functionality should be within the users as well. You should share with us your view of what a merge funtion would have, the difficulties, what could be developed first, and after, etc.
For example, you could start with a merge of trees that don't have anything in common, like ower friend above. Then you would add other functionalities, like merge conflicted trees, when the same person is defined in both trees, for example, if my cousin has a tree and I have a nother, then ower grand parent possibly will be in both trees, then the software would present option of which tree it would get info from, or both, etc and etc...
I think you guys should be getting some early feedback from the user easlier than later....
my 2 cents

Hi Obiwan,
We're currently working on a feature that allows to merge trees. Unfortunately, it's more difficult than one might think it is. But be sure, we're working on it and we'll announce it as soon as possible!
Until then, we'd recommend that you invite your wife with another email address and vice versa so that you can help in each others' trees.
With kind regards,
the itsourtree.com Team
