Not sure if this is the right comment board to put this query on but would like some advice please?

I was thinking of doing a joint Family Tree but would it be best to separate my FT from my husbands, what do you think, pros and cons please?

Thanks.

I have mine and OH´s separate. I would find the whole lot too large but then we don´t have children to be interested in it.

I think it´s really a personal choice.

Turner, Staniforth in Beighton and Ridgeway Sproat in Sheffield and Cumbria

You have to do what's best for you. I have put them together because in the end some are related to me, some to OH but they are all related to our children. :-D

Deffinatively separate.
Like Shirley I've also created seperate trees for his parents.

However, unless you have multiple accounts, GR will only support one tree.
