I am considering (silly as it seems) wiping a branch of my tree. NOT from the root :) just a stem.
DUE to --- tooooo much information out there.
I was faffing about last night, sorting my Wrights out -- and finding they lead to Henry VII and the Wright brothers etc -- got me all in a caffuffle.
There was suddenly such an 'influx' of information that varied with every new page or upload.
So even tho... I am sure they ARE my directs....
I think they will have to be put on one side -- until I can simplify the information that's out there.
Silly I know.

I suggest that you put that particular branch on the back burner for now. Don't wipe them out, you may regret it later. :'(
I've got a bit saturated with a branch of my family tree in the past. Got to the stage where I couldn't see the wood for the trees. :o
I've just put them away for another day. Not going to waste all my hard work by getting rid of them altogether. Perhaps in a few months time I'll dust them off and have another look. :)

Yes -- thats the best bet, I was 'agranoyed' (xin personal expression :) ) When I posted...
Ha ha.. sorry - somedays this is such a crazy 'hobby' and so much is marked down as possible that you wonder why you bother.
That was a 'WRIGHT' bad day :) :)
thanks for your response - really appreciated.

Good advice. Whatever you've got, just record it without going further, until or unless you wish to.
I first met a second cousin about 25 years ago. He thought he was the last of our family. Oh dear no. I got back to 1700 without knowing it. He employed a genealogist to extend my researches, added a whole host of family although it was only for another 5 years due to no earlier parish registers. It did establish where we came from. I can tell there's a lot more to it. It will have to be left to someone else to delve into. I'm old and ill.
