Just as a point of interest do you just climb up the trunk of your tree or do you go along the branches as well?

I definitley go along the branches as well - it makes it more interesting and hopefully I might meet some long lost cousins someday

If I'd only gone up the main trunk I would still be stuck in 1812
One branch goes back to 1042(not my research but real anyway) so my tree is very lopsided.
I like to find out about their lives and the history of the times

I think I would have to put myself in the crawl along the branches camp ...... I have found it fascinating to find out how far travelled some of my relatives were and have through tracing the tree come into contact with cousins (3rd or 4th) in Canada and Australia that I never knew existed.
Unfortunately I have also found out that I've came from the poor side of the family as the rest made their fortunes in various ways (which many then left to their local churches)

I am a brancher, initially not by choice as the plan was to get as far back as possible on the maternal and paternal lines, but then loads of "cousins" kept contacting me with information, my tree then exploded like a giant firework.
