    Short answer: you can't.

    Even when it's one user who has ended up with two accounts (inadvertently or otherwise), the accounts cannot be combined. Neither can private (living) profiles from two different user's accounts be merged. It's only when we get to our deceased (public) relatives that we all start working on the same Family Tree.

    FamilySearch is working on a way to share data on still-living people with family, in the Family Group Trees feature. It is currently one of the options on the page of experiments in progress called FamilySearch Labs: https://www.familysearch.org/labs/. (Blog post about Labs: https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/familysearch-labs.)
