Searching for inspiration?
My family tree has the small number of 202 ancestors but engulfs both sides of my family back to the 1700′s. I have noticed that many have ancestral figures of 1000 plus. Presumably this includes Uncles, Aunts and their children. Is it the fun of the search, or is it the obsessional thing of must collect similar to train spotting.
I am looking for ideas to pursue my genealogy interest and would welcome any ideas or suggestions. Thanking you in anticipation. Charles
This is where quality, not quantity, matters. Some people are name collectors and many are obsessive. They are probably relying on others’ research, not their own, so who knows how accurate their tree is? And there probably are lots of collateral relatives.
As long as you are happy with your tree, it doesn’t matter how big it is. If you feel you have run out of leads, try looking for aunts, uncles and others. You may find long lost cousins or even an unknown half brother. I know I did.
You can even post dead ends here and someone may be able to help.
