Comments.Text: There are various ways of creating a branch structure but it depends on how you want to use them.  For example, do you just need membership to show as belonging to a branch?  Do you need staff of a branch to only see their own members etc?  If you can expand on what you want to achieve with branches that would help.

Comments.Text: Aidan raises a good question - do you need 'memberships' between an individual and a branch - or would a relationship suffice
