No Berona, lots of names does not mean anything on its own. On the other hand I have now researched 5 different families (all connected to me) - my own, my husband's (which most of us do), my cousin's husband, my husband's cousin's wife (birthday present), and latterly the family of my daughter's intended husband. I have just started on the family of my husband's cousins husband, at her request. That takes me to about 3000 names for 5 families. |

I have only a few generations each of my parents' sides and I have my OH's parentage (no siblings) back to 1675 - his Mum's side only two generations. All of this is ongoing but to date I have 400 people in my tree. |

I'll probably answer this in bits. |

If you're writing to someone using snail mail and hope for a reply always include a stamped addressed envelope. It is polite to do so and if they can't answer your query you're much more likely to get a reply if you've sent an SAE - and negative info. is often useful too. |

I've got a family tree website - a really basic one - that I've added a lot of details about my ancestors to, but I update it by making a report in my family tree programme and then skimming off any sensitive information or any details about living people (or anybody who's less than 100 years old). |

I'm writing an article about researching etiquette. Can anyone give me examples of what they hate/like other researchers doing. A bad example could be showing your details on the internet, giving your details to others, quoting their research as yours etc. Or good examples could be sharing research with family members, keeping confidentiality etc. Real life examples would be even better. |
