Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - How Many Trees or Bushes Are in Your Family Tree Database?

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):

1)  Almost all of us have genealogy software that we use to manage our research and our family tree.  Some researchers use only an online family tree.  What do you use?

2)  For this week's SNGF, tell us how many "trees" (or "bushes" you have in your genealogy management program database.  How did you figure it out?

3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook Status post.  Please leave a link in a comment to this post.

I use RootsMagic 7 as my genealogy program database. I only have one tree on RootsMagic at the moment. I download the file and back it up every few months.

On Ancestry, I have 18 trees. One is synced to my RootsMagic database. Many of which are trees for DNA matches in order to find a common relation.

On MyHeritage, I have one tree. I go on it and update it periodically and look at DNA matches.

On FamilySearch, I have one tree. I go on it often and update it.

Also, I have a tree on WikiTree. It’s been a while since I’ve visited the website and edited the collaborative tree.

    I'm impressed - 18 trees on Ancestry. I imagine they bring in lots of possibilities for new cousins. I've only ever just used my one tree, but my present day family is small and most of my matches are 4th-6th cousins or distant.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Which Ancestors Would You Like to Talk to?

It's  Saturday Night  -  time for more  Genealogy Fun!   Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to: 1)  We sometimes find we have questions we would love to discuss with our ancestors - the who, what, when, why and how questions that might help with our genealogy research. 2)  Which ancestors would you like to talk to?  What questions would you ask?   3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook. There are so many ancestors I would love to talk to, but I will only list my top 5 ancestors. 💗 1)   My first choice would be my great-grandmother, Clara Loretta Scott Armstead (1904-1998).
