If the huge tree is made up of your actual ancestors (just about possible if it's due to a medieval link) you may fancy keeping a copy of the tree on your computer to keep referring to. However enormous trees on GR are often because people are going sideways and up every twig and branch. |

Hi Paul, good advice given here, also best to ask the said person 1st as alot of people get irate with people copying without asking 1st. If you put your grandad's information up I am sure there will be someone to help you get over your brickwall. |

Also, if you copy relations that you're not directly linked to...you'll only get bothered by people with hotmatches wanting to know more. :-) |

no way would I want anywhere near that number on my tree - I have under 200 on mine and am not expecting to get many more on it. I am not going down every branch line ad infinitum, what would be the point - it would be far too large to print out or display |

i've found a relation who has a much bigger family tree than myself, this is due to me only starting mine 3 day's ago. |
