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
