Jane, I collect everything on all my relatives, at least from about my great-grandparents' generation forward. I like knowing who my cousins are. I've even "met" one online, despite different immigration timeframes! --Paula Texas
(you wrote:) A second dilemma: While I do enter every child from a direct-ancestor family, I don't enter every spouse and child of that person. For example, John and Mary Jones have three children: Tom, Dick, and Harry. I'm descended from Tom, so while I did enter birth/death details for Dick and Harry, I don't enter their spouses and children and certainly not the spouses and children of their children's children, etc. Is this the way most people do it? I can see where it could/would be helpful to have as many persons with as much detail as possible, but at this stage it seems unnecessary (and not a little overwhelming).
