Thanks,  Seb and Marcin.  I didn't know about cloning.  That will do for
those parts of the tree that I know about before I start filling in the
data.  For afterwards, which is more the case I'm thinking about, I'll aim
to write an Elisp function using org-insert-subheading.  That sample macro
gives me something to go on. I'll experiment with keyboard macros, too,
which might be fine for this application.

Thx.
