Ancestry - how to merge from another person's tree

[smudwhisk]

Going slightly off of topic, because of the way I have done my trees on ancestry, is it possible to merge one of my trees to another of my trees?

No, unfortunately not - have learned this from experience

Now,when I have someone I think may "fit" at some time ,  I start another tree with a "new person" which means they can be linked later

You can but only by using the synchronised tree facility with Family Tree Maker and then using the program to merge one with the other.  When you then next synchronise, it will upload the changes.  You don't have to have the tree synchronised, you could just download copies of both and use FTM to merge on into the other, but you would then have to upload a new tree to Ancestry.

Yes, I mailed them to say I would be 'stealing' some people who fit my tree.

If you had contacted me in those tones, I would have told you where to get off!

Family History should be about sharing data, and doing some research yourself.
NOT stealing from others, and offering nothing in return (which is what "stealing" implies).

Well said!!

Indeed, I have blocked some "relatives" that have done exactly that, now they can do their own RESEARCH....

Had they not, I could have got them back 3 generations, with sources!!
