I am new user & wondering about how people save family files.
Do you have one file & have everyone - husband & wife (starting
couple)with families all in one file
or... do you break the files & save by surname. Example my Husband
parents surnames are Clifton, VanDyke(dads side), Unruh & Hopkins
(mom's side)So would you save a file for each one & build the family
from there.
I look on my family file as being exactly that, *my* family, so it
includes all my relatives, 4 main lines for each of my grandparents. I
think of them and document them as the Paul, Bloor, Dodd and Chandler
lines.
Because I am divorced from both my husbands I have not researched their
lines. I might one day if my children asked me to. In that case, I
would probably keep a separate family file (or two) but create a merged
file in order to run reports if they wanted them.
Neither of my children has or will have children, which probably
influences my decision. If I were still married to and/or interested in
my former spouses, or if my descendant line was to continue, I would
probably include my husband(s) in my family file.
