Wendy - I'll be the dissenting voice. I have 4 separate projects - my parents and my husband's parents. The families lived in different parts of the country and there is no overlap. Our children's records are with my husband's surname. I've been doing this for about 20 years and never had a problem. Early on I merged them on a trial basis and disliked it intensely. When I am working on a family I go into their environment - where they lived and their local sources. Projects are small and easy to manage. For me there is no downside. Most genealogists disagree, so it is bucking tradition. Do what you are comfortable with; you're the one who will put in the time and effort entering the data.
