	Just curious - I have been working on my tree all up for maybe 8 years, and have just over 3 thousand people. Where possible I have tried to attain all certificates etc so I can be reasonably sure of who I have in there and how they are related, and any other sources I can find. What is the likliehood that someone would have over 50,000 names in their tree? I have been contacted by a lady who has 50,000 plus names for access to my tree but has not specified how she is related etc. I can look at her tree and see where we match in family names, but cannot for the life of me see how she is potentially related to myself, etc. I am very careful about to whom I give access to, just wondering what your thoughts are on trees this big, is it likely they would be genuine?
