I've just looked at someones tree who has 103,352 people in it, they must have more money then sence. :-D :-D :-D

You are all ignoring the fact that someone can have 3 people in their tree, and 2 of them are incorrect.
Many people do not buy certificates, so small is not necessarily beautiful.

I have two aunts who have trees on here and both have there own fathers year of birth wrong, so they have not bothered looking for his birth like I did....
Most of the ones with the huge trees probably did not spend a penny on certs, I have one in my contacts that has been adding up to a 100 people a day every day for over a year now, plus 100s of photos which I am sure have just been removed from other peoples trees from here or ancestry

While looking in the public trees on another site for the family of my great uncle's wife , I found another tree which had started with biblical names, including Methusela, from the year 3382 BC, Eden!!

Wonder if they had any birth certificates??

I can't speak for anyone else but I'm not ignoring any 'facts' patchem. Frankly, I don't give a monkeys how many names someone has in their tree regardless of how they have collected them. I just mind my own

Btw, I like the colours in your avatar, what is it?

To me, and it is only my opinion, GR could not handle the size of the tree. It never got to the end of the down loading, before signs were coming up that there was an error with the programme.
I shall try again today.

In the last 34 mins. I have made 3 attempts to get into this tree, and failed again. However, the tree owner has added 17 more people to it. That equates to 1 every 2 mins. WoW

Aw I got a mention in dispatches.

92.000 in a tree. Yeah and every one is verified as being correct and it will obviously go back to Christ!!!!

This is acheived by entering the families of in-laws. So your g/granparents each had 4 or more siblings, once you start adding the partners & children of all those people and then their parents et al, it does not take long to grow your tree expotentially, and this is without even trying. :-S

Sorry PigletsPal, I am lost with your first sentence. Would you please elucidate.

That's basically what I was saying PP. If someone wishes to continue sideways, then backwards from each of those names, I should imagine it would be very easy to have a large tree.

I have now contacted the tree owner, and they are going to send me the relavent sections. Phew, I must have tried 9/10 times and still cannot access it.

My comment on mentioned in dispatches relates to a thread I started at the weekend about 'tree theives'. On Rootschat a person posted a comment that they call them Tree Scrumpers.

I thought this was such a great name for them that I posted on here about it. :-D :-)
