how many trees can you have on ancestry? I have been going through all my distant dna cousins and have managed to put some into groups so would like to do some separate trees for each group but not sure if you are allowed to do so many trees. I was trying to make it easier for others to find their connections to my tree because I already have a large tree.

I think you can make as many as you like. I keep all my research in one master tree as one day I will find the missing links and then I just need to join them up! Merging is fraught with dangers.Caroline

I keep adding them. Have some for friends so they can see their trees. Also test out theories, by adding logical guesses to see if they pan out. Never tried to merge trees.Carolyn

I've got several, one main one, two separate ones for particular surnames, another for working things out without messing up the main one, one for OH's DNA, two for local history, another for my postcard collection, another for wills to try to see how various families with the same name in Georgian Sussex connect, and two for friends who asked me to do a tree. I don't enable hints for all of them, it would drive me crackers.

Interesting that you are trying to connect sussex families. I have some that migrated to Kent from Sussex. My main mystery at the moment with that side is Hannah Guy. I believe she was b 1806 Warburton Sussex. I believe she was married to Thomas Sinden. It was after her husbands death that she then joins my family and becomes the partner of Thomas Baker

I have a tree for my paternal side, A tree for my maternal grandfather and a tree for my maternal grand mother.
The only common persons in each of them are my parents, which means they merge very easily, because they do not have multiple duplications that could cause problems.
The reason I have split the maternal side into two trees, is that I am doing a one name search on the areas they lived in, slowly building 'clans' and then adding them to the main trunk of that surname. This is because the Pooles and Pursgloves in their respective areas have so many individuals.
I find that doing this has made it far easier to correct branches when I have realised mistakes have been made (so many Johns married Elizabeth and had dau mary or son Edward in the same area at the same time ).
I tend to keep the 'work in progress' trees on Ancestry open yo public search, but my main correct version is kept private. (too many just nick your research and add it to their tree without the decency of contacting you).Avatar is my Gt Grandfather
Researching:
FRANKLIN (Harrow/Pinner 1700 to 1850); PURSGLOVE (ALL Southern counties of England); POOLE (Tetbury/Malmesbury and surrounding areas of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire (1650 to 1900); READ London/Suffolk

3 pages worth? I keep trying to build out trees for genetic matches, for people I'm trying to help (including ftf friends!), and my own.
There's another bunch of trees that I've been invited to.
For my genetic matches, I've started to name them Z<genetic testing site> Name of genetic match.Last edited by PhotoFamily; 14-09-19, 22:52.
