Sorry John, but I must question your maths here. If you go back eight generations on *all* lines it will be 256 people in that generation, excluding siblings, with a total of 510 people in all the generations up to and including the eighth, again excluding siblings. (2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256=510). So it is quite easy to have a database of 900 as I do, when you have reached eight generations on five lines, but have others that only go back five or six generations.
