There are good points and bad points about putting unrelated individuals together in one data base or having separate ones. Each person has to determine it on an individual basis. I have some of each in my data.

The problem is when an indivdual occurs in two or more different files. For instance, I have my main genealogy data base, a data base for my major research project on the cotton mill employees, and another for my high school class. There are overlaps in all three areas and you have the well known data base problem of making changes to one and not the other.

You might want to ask the real experts on whollygenes.com however.
