Hi
Thanks for your comments : ))
No I am not new at all.

Indeed I know very well the errors and possible pitfalls of this website. Not only in the trees but also in transcriptions. While doing family searches in 2007 - finally finding my birth family - even if I did not know their name, I did thousands of corrections in Census etc (especially french name transcriptions). But this site is great whatever.

The reason I am asking to have the number of individuals in members trees, is that there are numerous trees with 2 or 3 people in them. It is very tedious to explore the sea of results sometimes.

I'm so sensitive to validity of information that I started to put markers when I have doubts in my own trees

see François Mckinnon's.

But thanks really. I always like to learn more.
