Hi SBob

I add everyone that I find that can be linked to an existing person on my tree (incl previous or following spouses), but rather like Kerry, I don't have certificate proof for all of them - paying for certs and parish records is usually limited to direct family or sometimes to a critical person who will allow me to "prove" a new connection. To be truthful - I spend as much as I can get away with - due to the cost in Scotland vs England and Australia, I have very good proof for my Scottish families  ;D

Thanks for all the replies.

I decided to just follow what interested me, I've added some fascinating branches now that way.

As most of you say, I'm only buying certs for those in my direct line, or to get another generation back.
