I have just looked at someones tree, which when I last looked had about 45,000 peeps in it. Today it has 92,200, and I could not access after leaving it to down load for 15 mins., at least. All sorts of messages where coming up on the screen to get out of the programme. It was a nightmare. If a newbie was having a go, it would have frightened them to death, and put them off Geneology for life.
Must have a cuppa and a pill or two. I am a quivering reck. Trouble is, if I ever got into it, I would probably have all my answers. But I don't think it would do me nerves much good trying.

I really can't see the point of having a tree that size on here.

No Joy, name collecting is not the same as Geneology.

Roy, I think the tree owner has nothing else to do with their time, and are possibly retired, with nothing else to do.

Island, the rate this person is going, not only will they be directly related to Adam and Eve,well yes I know we all are, but all the Nobility of both Eastern and Western Europe, every President of the US, Uncle Tom Cobbly and All, and a few African and Arabian Prices thrown in to boot.
Maybe even an Indian Maharajah or two. LOLOL

Probably more likely to have gone sideways methinks. Easy enough, I can understand the fascination for names and numbers so I'm not knocking it even if it isn't my way. Some people collect train numbers :-0 :-D *ducks*
