Never mind the quality, feel the width.

Somebody opened their tree for me the other day and my heart sank - 38,000 names! I'm sure they have researched the tree quite well, but I had to do a fair bit of searching to locate the name I was linked to.

As Rutland Belle says, it is often hard to locate the connection between the person you have got a message about and the tree owner - if I was e-mailing someone about, say, a relative called Alice Hurst b. 1794, I always try to put in the message that my connection with her goes straight back from my dad until you get to my 4xgreat grandad Joseph, and then Alice is Joseph's sister.

Someone let me look at their tree recently and they have over 20,000 names. I can find similar names in both our trees but have no idea how they are connected to the tree owner.
