But when people mention tens and hundreds of thousands of entries, it boggles my little brain. I hope you will receive some answers to this query!

I guess I only add those distant relations out of boredom because direct lines, going back in time, are becoming harder to find. Just wondering, how did you ever collect so many relations and do you think there will be a cut-off point. I know Legacy can handle them all with no problems, but can you use them all to a manageable advantage. As I say, just wondering what people with large trees think, as it is a little beyond my comprehension.

I don't want to get to a point where I start losing information I am adding.   Sharon L Johnson [email protected] Blogs: grandmasharonlee.blogspot.com grandmasharon2000.blogspot.com http://www.BinocularDeals.com       Legacy User Group guidelines:   http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009:   http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009:   http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp -- Kathy Meyer STRESS: when your gut says "NO WAY" and your mouth says "NO PROBLEM" "To reach a goal you have never before attained, you must do things you have never before done." --Richard G.
