Connecting 3 family trees

If I have exported 3 separate family trees, is it possible to link them altogether to create the one family tree or would I have to create a new one? and flick back and forth to each to get the information from each of the trees?

If there is only one person who overlaps in both trees, then you can merge them manually. Here's a previous post that explains how to do it. If you're not confortable doing that, there are programs that merge two GEDCOM files together. Here's an article from Family Tree Magazine that looks at a couple of them. It turns out that merging two family trees is a pretty common thing for people to want to do, and if you search on Google for "merging GEDCOM files", there are a lot of resources to look at.
