Different Calendars

I realized I haven't experimented with ICal, and since ICal can handle multiple calendars, exporting the dates to ICal might solve most of my needs on this score. I am taking a few days off in the hills to tell the lyrebirds about my little joust with The MacGenealogist . The birds will sing and...

How do I merge new information with a new source?

Originally posted by nakedbear
