Currently - No.
You can read in this discussion about GenoProSupport plans about merging data (scroll down in the discussion).

Can you describe the problem?
Perhaps there is a cut and paste workaround that may solve it.

I have my main GenoPro family tree created, and a niece has created another around her branch of the family.
I would like to "merge" the two.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Create a new GenoMap, and copy & paste the genealogy tree created by your niece into the new GenoMap.

Open both trees with GenoPro.
Use the Window menu item to toggle between the two trees.
Compare the two.
Is there one common connection between them?
If so you can select this individual and use the Select Ancestors - Select Siblings - Select Children - Select Descendants buttons in the right combination to isolate the portion of the tree that you want to paste into the other.
While selected you can use the Shift/Left Click combination to Add or Remove individuals and link lines until you get just the portion you require.
Use Copy then toggle to the other window and Paste - while pasting you can drag the entered diagram wherever you wish to line up with the other tree.
It may be necessary to go back and collect "missing links"  or missing individuals.
You may have to open the Properties of some individuals by right clicking to copy data from one individual to the same individual in the other tree to update information missing in one tree.
Children are the easiest to reconnect just copy a row of them - paste into the other tree and click on each one then "Link as Child" onto the family line.
I can't tell how much overlap there is in the two diagrams but if you spend the time checking the Properties of each individual and marriages you can copy and paste from the properties box of each individual in each tree to get the facts transferred.
If necessary you can open a New window and do you copying and pasting there before making a final copy to transfer to the main tree.
GenoPro is excellent in this regard - it's so easy to isolate a branch of the tree - copy and paste into a new diagram - create a Metafile and paste into a document to send a relative.
Many people have asked me how I create the family tree diagrams I send them - I recommend GenoPro everytime.
There's no instant merge solution but this alternative will work as long as your patient.
It might take a little time but I'm sure you'll get there.

| Any progress on the development of merging gno/xml files without the copy/paste function?
