Or, if you only want some of the people in the imported dataset
included in your main dataset, use the Copy Person(s) function to
copy only them, instead of using Merge Datasets. The advantage is
that you don't end up with a bunch of extra people to delete. For
some tips on using Copy Person(s) function, see my article at
