I pretty much stick to the one up and down on spouses or females that married out. But - make an exception when I find descendants of married daughters looping back to marry into the name again or I get a query that sends me their info proving they are the gg-grandchild of a Peplxx. Then I check out the trail and include it. I do this because people find me by my website and if I include their connections they can use the website to show the relationship to the rest of their family. This has contributed a large number of pictures, letters and other things to my study that these folks have sent me. I think of it as following the genetic line as well as the Name.

I guess mine process is very similar to other responses. However, I do very it a bit according to circumstances... Where Descendants of people in my ONS volunteer information, I add it to the Trees (with their permission) and credit them as the source. This gives a degree of 'buy-in' to my ONS from people who may not hold the name, but have a strong family link. Always bear in mind that things like Bibles and photos often disappear down the female line, and having those names in your Trees can act as bait <grin> My other exceptions are in small or sparse communities where: - Cousins intermarry, and - Siblings intermarry with the 'children' of a neighboring farm. Studying the wider family can often help untangle complicated relationships.
