Hello-
After receiving someone's family tree which has 29,000 names in it, of which I am one (along with my parents, grandparents, cousins, etc.) my husband and I are having a discussion of when is enough, enough, when researching your family tree? He sees no point in adding these names in my tree, (which at this point my tree totals about 2400 names) other than immediate connections; I see it as a whole branch of my tree that has been dumped in my lap that I don't have to research. I would like to hear thoughts on this subject. I feel that that's what "One World Tree" will eventually become, and he sees it as it's not really important, unless you are National Geographic doing DNA and want to find "number one" that connects us all together.
I would like to hear opinions on this!
By the way, I should mention that this family tree which I have received, was commissioned work done by Jim Kurtti, (Finnish American Reporter) at Finlandia University, so I believe it to be true and factual, with documented sources.
Thank-you,
Denise
