Hi Bill, My database has around 32,000 individuals. I track all my direct line ancestors. I also track all the descendants of 3rd great grandparents. I still have a long way to go.
Just the descendants of my Mother's maternal grandparents, there are over 670 living individuals. There are over 900 in total. I am LDS and I come from a long line of LDS on both my maternal & paternal side. There is polygamy on both sides. I track half relatives as well. I have 2 sets of 3rd great grandparents who had multiple wives & many children. Between the 2 3rd great grandfathers there were 79 children. Many of those had 9 to 15 children each. This is how I have a large database.

For myself I go back 8 generations for my bloodline 14 generation with my mother's family, and 9 generations with my wife's side of her family with both parents. This includes all children within each generational family. And I have only tops 670 individuals. Yes, I have not expanded on all 13 children of my 4th great grand father. just my bloodline. Now my question: Is there a trend to expand your family tree in every direction to amass such a hugh amount of family tree with 30,000 individuals? and Why has this trend dominate the genealogy quest today?
