I love to research genealogy. I'm also easily frustrated, so when I get blocked on a line, I like to work on others. I'm one of those people on Ancestry who has more than 12 trees, only 2 of which are related directly to me. It's fun! It makes me feel smart, and I'm relatively good at it. But a couple of months ago I got to feeling tree-bloated. I went through all my trees and deleted more than half of them.
So of course someone emailed me about someone in one of my trees, and Yay! I still had that tree! But the tree with all the information on the family that had intermarried several times with that particular tree, well, that's one of the ones I deleted. I deleted sources and records and pictures and death certificates. Now I find that I really wish I had that tree back.
