I just checked my Name Summary for the first time in ages - I've got 125 different surnames in my tree! Can't possibly check all of them every two weeks. How does everybody else do it? Sal

235 surnames in mine but that includes dont knows and not sures. I dont check all my surnames though because some are just people that have married into my family and I dont check mine every two weeks I check them every day. jenny

I've only got 30 different surnames & 103 individuals on here. That is just my fathers side, I haven't added mums side as my cousins have pretty comprehensively covered that back to the 1600s. Vivienne PS I don't add until I have verified all info.

Blimey, Debbie, I'm impressed! Yes, some of mine are just 'married in's so I don't extend their branches or chase up their surnames in 'Names Summary'. It is a bit disconcerting to have 7 pages of surnames on there though! Pipsy, don't give up - I started two years ago and got nowhere til i found a couple of relatives on the site who were a huge help. I can't believe the kindness of people who will share their hard-earned research with others. It does help to have rare surnames - my Dad's side are all Dixons and Adams's and I've got nowhere yet! Mam's side are all really unusual names - makes look-ups at the FRO easier too! Sal.x

Bow, Be careful what you wish for - last time I looked, I only had about 30 surnames - my tree seems to have expanded on me!
