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.

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

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.

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

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.
