Thanks for all your thoughts on this. Maybe I didn’t explain properly but you all seem to see what I’m getting at. I will be doing the female line through the ‘trunk’ of my tree but the males I am bringing all siblings up to date too. Basically I will only be recording people who are married to, or are children of someone with the same name as someone in my trunk but not following their line any further. |

We all do it a different way but our tree is actually our childrens tree and may,in time,be our grandchildrens tree. |

Well, I put almost everyone I find in my tree. I admit I sometimes hesitate to bother, and think what the hell, and the number of occasions that I have been so glad that I did have been unbelievable. |

As you discover more twigs for your tree, eg from censuses, it seems a shame not to utilise the info, if you have the time and inclination. And also, if you put them on here, you may get a match, I certainly have been in contact with a number of people who whilst not close family, I would count amongst my rellies. |

It depends entirely on what you yourself wish. I actually have 2 family trees. |

As you say it is personal choice. It is your family tree which you compile under your own criteria. There is no right or wrong. |

well they are all family linked although as the generations grow and spread the links get stretched. Its up to you how far you want to spread out . I often find i go off on a tangent when finding marriages for the females but although I will list the parents of the groom i dont explore back on that side. I will list the children too if found What has thrown up sometimes is the families sometimes interlink back when cousins marry etc. |

I would appreciate some thoughts regarding the females in my tree. I can't make up my mind whether to continue with the female siblings once they marry. As they change their name and their children are of a different name can I really say they are still part of my tree? I know it's a personal choice but I would appreciate any thoughts you may have. |
