working with the us census tract files available from <a href="http://census.gov" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">census.gov</a> here:<br>

=Census+Tracts</a><br>
<br>
they are published as 54 separate zip files, one per state. we would like to<br>
combine them into a single dataset. i found a lot of pages on the web that<br>
suggest using qgis for that purpose. they all start with <br>
<br>
Click on the Vector menu, Data Management tools, Merge Shapefiles to<br>
One... <br>
<br>
i just installed qgis 3.12.1, but my vector / data management tools menu<br>
doesn't have that option. has that tool been removed, or is there a plugin i<br>
need to install or maybe a different version? <br>
<br>
is that data already available in a combined format from somewhere, or is<br>
there a better way to do this? <br>
<br>
thanks<br>
