Once that is done, would it be possible to import just the messages from a second group, CRFCRC_Board_Committees, essentially combining the histories of the two groups?
Yes, this has been done before. The only "problem" is that the message numbers will be out of sequence.?

Let's say your first group transferred has 5000 messages. They will be imported as message numbers 1-5000. Message #5001 will be the first message of the second group imported, despite the fact that it might have been posted on the same date or even before message #1.

Message date/time stamps are retained, and as messages are generally viewed in chronological order anyway, this may not be objectionable. Just don't be too surprised when you find the assigned message numbers to be interleaved like this.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

P.S. Setting up the committees group as a subgroup of the board may be a more logical way to organize this.
