=================================================================

cousin marriages will cause pedigree collapse
which already occurs with the Holmes Jones Watkins in Monmouthshire above

>> Back in 1985 Alex Shoumatoff wrote an account of kinship and genealogy called
The Mountain of Names, A History of the Human Family
(A Touchstone Book published by Simon & Schuster, Inc., New York.)

He speaks about an amazing paper by Robert C. Gunderson called
Tying Your Pedigree into Royal, Noble and Medieval Families.

Gunderson invented the term ‘pedigree collapse’.
This is a phenomenon which is ubiquitous and makes every genealogist's life a little easier.
When one's pedigree collapses, one has a reducing number of ancestors to search for. Here is how it works.

so some individuals will have two or more Ahnentafel numbers

>> A node with Ahnentafel index i occurs at Level b lg i c in the binary tree
<< programmer speak . just google up to 10 words to find more

================searches ======================
Ahnentafel indices come to us from genealogists who invented them
for encoding one’s pedigree as a binary, family tree

ahnentafel n.

from Ahnentafel "ancestor chart": a type of chart used in genealogy that uses a particular numbering system for all ancestors of the main person

[German Ahn, Ahne, "ancestor" + Tafel, "table, chart"]. This entry suggested by G. Victor Paulson.

"Ahnentafel Numbers Are not as Mysterious as they Seem", Anneliese Graebner Anderson, Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal, Winter 1995, p. 52-53.

Ahnentafel dictionary

AHNENLIST
a list of one's accordance with the AHNENTAFEL NUMBERS definition below. ancestors, with the first generation being #1, second #2-3, third #4-7, etc. May be synonymous with AHNENTAFEL.

AHNENTAFEL
[German ancestor table] a list of ancestors numbered in accordance with the system described below in AHNENTAFEL NUMBERS. So-called because it was popularized by Stephen Kekule von Stradonitz in his 1896 book, Ahentafel Atlas.

The system was first used in a book by the Spanish geneologist Jerome de Sosa in 1676.

Translated from the German, "ahnen" means ancestor and "tafel" means table or list; because of this literal translation, ahnentafel is sometime incorrectly used to describe any list of ancestors. - Richard Pence -- richardpence@pipeline.com.


AHNENTAFEL NUMBERS
the universally used method of numbering ancestors.

In it the number 1 is assigned to the subject of the list, then his or her father is No. 2, the mother is No. 3, the paternal grandfather No. 4, etc.

In this system, a person's father's number is always twice the person's number and his or her mother's number is twice-plus-one.

Because of the structured nature of the sytem, a person's ahnentafel number can be used to describe his or her relationship to the subject of the list.

This method of numbering ancestors is used worldwide and is also called the "Sosa-Stradonitz System," after the genealogist who first used it and the one who popularized it (see AHNENTAFEL above)

. This method of numbering ancestors is used both on lists of ancestors or on ancestor charts. - Richard Pence -- richardpence@pipeline.com

no STOP there Hugh !

=========================================
>>The genealogy reports in Family Tree Maker are based on standardized reports that were created by various genealogical societies. This is the same format used by these genealogical societies, and we tried stay as close to these formats as possible. What seems like a mistake is really an inherent characteristic of the report.

There are three variations of the Genealogy Report:

* Register (Descendant Ordered) The Register format is a descendant-ordered format; it presents information about your family starting with an ancestor and moving forward in time to that individual's descendants. The Register format is the format which is accepted by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, one of the oldest genealogical societies in the country. The Register format dates back to 1870 and is used to establish "pedigree."

* NGS Quarterly (Descendant Ordered) The NGS Quarterly format is also a descendant-ordered format; it presents information about your family starting with an ancestor and moving forward in time to that individual's descendants. The NGS Quarterly format is the preferred genealogical report of the National Genealogical Society. The format dates back to 1912.

* Ahnentafel (Ancestor Ordered) The Ahnentafel format is ancestor-ordered; it starts with one individual and moves backward in time to that individual's ancestors. It's not used as frequently as the other two formats for formal presentations of pedigree because it records two family lines in the same report.<<
