I am researching my family both my mums side and dads side. Do I put all the information on one tree or do two seperate trees. Thanks in advance Annette

This was because I was finding the same surnames cropping up in both lines but from opposite ends of the country. My mother's ancestors are from Somerset, my father's from Yorkshire and Hertfordshire. Given time, I may find I end up splitting my father's tree.
