Yes, it does sound like a neat idea, but we would need a heck of a lot of space!! I just created a 9-generation chart for just my Loveless data, though I didn't print it out. It would be 80 printed pages, and would be 306 inches wide by 16 inches tall. This might give you an idea of how large a combined tree would be if we tried to add all our data together. The logistics alone are mind-boggling. Think of how many intermarriages between a few related families you have in each of your lines...then imagine combining that with others who have similar numbers of intermarriages! Whew! --Melissa
