Descendency charts
The indented descendancy chart is a convenient way to pass information about your familytree via E-mail.
Of course a computer database is even more practical.The guide-lines are simple:
1. Indent every new generation
2. Give each generation a special numbering
A,B,D,E 1,2,3,4,5, a,b,c,d,e, 1,2,3,4,5, I,II,III,IV, V, VI 1,2,3,4,5, 3. Use the following abbreviations b. birth c. christened d. death bur. buried oo married o|o divorced oo 1. first marriage (do not forget the point!) oo 2. second marriage Look out: oo 2. 2 april 1996, Ohio second marriage on 2 april 1996 oo 2 april 1996, Ohio first marriage on 2 april 1996 oo 2. april 1996, Ohio first marriage in april 1996 If you are not sure about the date then mention Abt (=about). oo 2. abt 4 april 1996, Ohio 4. Mention date and place of each event after the abbreviation 5. Please Use characters for the names of the months. Do not use numbers.
