Over the weekend, I finally broke past the 1,000 names in my Family Tree.  While its not a strait line of 1,000 names, it still feels good to get to that number.   With the help of relatives on Geni.com they plugged in a few names of cousins, and their parents-in-laws.  I was able to move it back to my original GEDCOM. 
I think the next hurdle for me should be 2,500 (dont wan't to shoot to high), it only took a few years (on and off) to get to 1,000 names.
