Where does it show you the number of ancestors in the tree?
I know ours is from our own research be that our own families or ones from the
Black Country area that we research and take into our BC family, so it is maybe a record breaker?
Or heading that way

I really do think it is unique in that we have a theme that we all contribute to rather than concentrating on a single family.
There are first name studies.
But as far as I can see, we are the only ones with a large tree based on a location.

I think it's about as acurate as it can be too, the emphasis is on acurate info, not just numbers. If an anomaly is spotted then the info is corrected, or a note added to the effect that the info is only a possible, not a definate. I like the way we try to see how people connect together and the story behind the names. Can't wait for the moment my lot connect up to someone else in BCC!!

I agree Snoopysue, and hoping my lot will connect up to some of the others.

You have to stop saying that!
It is a lot of work but we get there.
Amazing the amount we have and so much work has gone into it.
We all should be very proud.
