My uncle has sent me family trees that he researched a long time ago without a computer. I am tryingto put his trees into GRAMPS. Should I put everything into one big tree, or make one tree for each related family name?

My opinion: Everyone is related to everyone. Make it one tree. As a side effect, this will save you a huge amount of time dealing with place records, and probably some time dealing with sources and citations.

One Big Tree or One Per Direct Line?
