Comments on: What's the largest family tree ever recorded? http://www.tracemyfamilytree.com/family-tree/whats-the-largest-family-tree-ever-recorded Resources for tracing your family tree Wed, 14 Jan 2009 06:59:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MIKE M http://www.tracemyfamilytree.com/family-tree/whats-the-largest-family-tree-ever-recorded/comment-page-1#comment-712 MIKE M Sun, 28 Dec 2008 00:10:59 +0000 http://www.tracemyfamilytree.com/family-tree/whats-the-largest-family-tree-ever-recorded#comment-712 I have over 49,000 people in my genealogical database in one tree alone. I have a friend that researches primarily only one surname and he has over 30,000 people in that database. You are off to a good start, but I guess you are talking about direct lines and not the whole family tree. I stopped counting after I went back 14 generations as that only got me back to the late 1500's. There is only two of my family lines that I can't get back further than 6 generations and that is because for one of them I don't have the tiem or money to go to Germany and do more research at this time, the other is just a common name that I just haven't broken the brickwall yet but I will eventually. ;-) I'm not sure what the largest tree is but I know for a fact that some of the Jewish genealogies are quite extensive.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have over 49,000 people in my genealogical database in one tree alone.

I'm not sure what the largest tree is but I know for a fact that some of the Jewish genealogies are quite extensive.

I have thousands of direct ancestors, more than 100 generations on my Mom's side; only 14 on my Dad's side (early 1400s in Germany). One of the trees I have connected to has more than a million entries...(It is in www.ancestry.com)<br><b>References : </b><br>genealogical research Well, you are off to a good start.
