Merging Profiles
I recently made a FamilySearch profile for myself and it assigned me a number. However, my mom has already done a lot of family history work for our family. I would like to merge my profile with the profile she has for me on her account so I can bring all the work she has done into my account. Can anyone help figure out how to do this? Thank you in advance.

Welcome to FamilySearch. To protect privacy, living persons are protected in a private space. You will need to enter your living ancestors as you and your mother will not be able to share living persons.
When you come to the first deceased ancestor, you can enter them by their ID number.
See Help Article titled: How do I add an ancestor who is already I Family Tree to my pedigree.
This will add that ancestor and their ancestors to your record.
Enjoy building your tree.
