I think I'm going to have to win the lottery to finance this hobby if I'm to catch up with you all. |

I have a nice neat little 680 rellies, oldest one being born 1706. I have access to another members tree with an astonishing 29,458 members going back to 977AD. Looks very well researched to me too. |

Um, I have nearly 9000. But being made to feel that I should be labelled as a 'names collector' for having a large tree, I've never admitted it before. People seem to think you steal everyone else's info and something about 'lots of buttons in a tin' or whatever. But I have worked on my tree every day for 6 years (excluding Christmas days), and am researching my husbands tree (all lines and branches) as well as my own. Our ancestors frequently had upto 17 children, so the tree grows rapidly! Just sent off for 5 more certs, so cant wait to break some more brick walls.... |

It's wonderful when you first find that aristocratic link and you get really carried away with excitement isn't it? I remember that feeling so well. |

I've nudged up my Big trees thread on the Tips board for you. I think it may be useful. |

I didn’t realise just how addictive it was going to be when I started. I was lucky that a cousin had started on my Mum’s side so have been able to get a lot of onfo from her. |

I have been doing my tree for about 6years and have approx 4,000 relatives now. I have personally found and checked a lot of them on census and parish records. Some have been given by avid researchers who have spent 30 years researching. |

Hi All, I’ve just been adding a lost relative to my tree, and it got me thinking about just how many ancestors / relatives we can find. I’m fairly new to the hunt, but I expect that many of you out there have possibly got into the high hundreds or even thousands. So how about seeing; |
