I've been using Ancestry and Family Search for 8 families, but the tree has exploded.

2. Thank you for your confirmation about splitting trees.

Now, how? Can I start by entering my name and it will automatically build my tree with what I already entered? Then, start my husband's branch? I sure don't want to mess up anything. I just couldn't see how I could print it out due to the size.

I'd also like to know if this info could be archived for later without paying every year. I won't be around a whole lot longer and this is more or less for my children/grands. I have written some books on 3 sections of the family, but would love to merge the branches and anecdotes. There are some interesting stories. It may be a useless exercise if no one is interested in family history, but I would have tried.
