hello, regarding width of tree. it got me thinking!. we don,t ( as we all know) have to go back very far before we have dozens of different names.every generation doubles the number,. if we had a magic wand most of us would use it to break down the brick walls we all come up against, . so would i, but given such a wand i would opt for researching my line through the female ( my mother,her mother . her mother etc.) and not pay too much attention to the male side. i know who my mother is but somewhere along the line back 15 /20 generations??. it,s a lucky man who knows his father!!!. let me say that i am 76yrs. and when i look in the mirror it is as though my father is looking back at me. like 2 peas from the same pod!!. so no! , i don,t have any bad experiences that way. hope i didn,t bore you .roy.
