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.

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.

  1. 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.

Intentions & Reflections

Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ?  Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote  just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience,   even when  inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
