One person at a time can be copied from a tree. The source tree can be your own or someone else's. Only deceased people may be copied.
Copying a person

Click Add [relationship type] to connect the copied person to someone in your tree. For example, if the copied person is the daughter of a woman in your tree, click Add mother.

Click Save.
Copying sources
When someone is copied to a tree, only facts about the person's gender, birth, and death are copied. Sources aren't included. For help adding sources, see Managing Sources in Trees.
Copying a whole tree
To duplicate a whole tree, see Moving Trees Between Accounts.
Merging and splitting trees
