	You could have a database with as many SINCLAIR families as you want 
without them interconnecting.  I used PAF (Personal Ancestral File) & have 
about 7 different databases.  One is for the people related to me (over 
30,000 names as I have been doing genealogy for over 20 years) & another is 
for any SINCLAIR family who lived in Ontario, Canada (over 5,000 names).

Lena,

Yes, I am doing the exact same thing.  I have entered both my father's 
(Sinclair) and
my mother's families (my great aunt was a genealogist involved with the 
Mayflower
Society) into my database.  I have been quite lucky on all sides, provided 
with far
more info than I can digest.  I think that as a result I have gained more 
and more
interest in the history of it all.  My database contains 1400+ people and 
is growing
all the time.  I have added bios when ever possible.  It would be amazing 
one day to
have one giant database, but I fear the genealogists would not be so happy.

Great Luck,

Michelle
