Post your whole tree to rootsweb But post your trimmed tree and use that one to link to your dna kit Sent from AOL Mobile Mail On Thursday, November 26, 2015, Eric S Johnson via <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> wrote: Earlier on, it seemed wise to add to my tree anyone I could. Now, too often, someone writes me to say “Hey! We both have Gabiashvilis in our tree! That must be how we’re related!” (not to pick on the Georgians; simply, I love Georgian cuisine). But my Gabiashvilis are, like, 9g-grandparents of 3rd cousins of in-laws of a 7th cousin. I’d like to prune my tree of the “least-useful” people in it. I could prune everyone who’s not directly related to (the descendants of the ancestors of) my kid (the root person in my tree), but I don’t want to be quite that exclusive. It’s useful to have (whatever-distance) cousins’ spouses’ parents, for instance, because they provide triangulation information on that “branch” which is useful when tree-comparing-trying to figure out whether the Robert Wheeler in my tree is the same as the one in a DNA cousin’s tree. Can anyone think of a way to prune from a tree the most-distantly-related folks?
