I'd give Granny 2 partners & do both lines |

I'd do the bloodline first too but I really enjoy doing trees for friends and relations, even if they are unrelated to me, so I'd do both! |

Technically you should research your dad's natural father because that's the blood line, but I would do both. I research my mother's step-mother. I knew her as Grandma and loved her dearly but I have no blood connection to her. My, she has an interesting family tree, though! |

Difficult. My Mum was adopted but so far I have only been able to trace her adoptive family, so have only gone back to the mid 1800s because they're not really anything to do with me. |

I'm new to researching my family tree and am unsure whether I should begin to research my Father's name (my maiden name) which was his Mother's husband's name (Thomas E. Dormer) OR whether to research his natural Father (Alfred Collins) who died when my Father was a teenager, but who was Father to my Dad and his two sisters.There was no second marriage. I have no personal connection to either of them. |
