I'll enter the data in Legacy, but don't bother creating paper files for other than the direct line (usually).

Jane,
I collect everything on all my relatives, at least from about my
great-grandparents' generation forward. I like knowing who my cousins are.
I've even "met" one online, despite different immigration timeframes!

A second dilemma: While I do enter every child from a direct-ancestor
family, I don't enter every spouse and child of that person. For example,
John and Mary Jones have three children: Tom, Dick, and Harry. I'm
descended from Tom, so while I did enter birth/death details for Dick and
Harry, I don't enter their spouses and children and certainly not the
spouses and children of their children's children, etc. Is this the way
most people do it? I can see where it could/would be helpful to have as
many persons with as much detail as possible, but at this stage it seems
unnecessary (and not a little overwhelming).
