  Numbering System
Here's a quick introduction for the fan who asked on our Facebook page.

Typically, one numbers in the following fashion on an ahnentafel chart:

1) You
2) Your father
3) Your mother
4) Your father's father
5) Your father's mother
6) Your mother's father
7) Your mother's mother
8) Your father's father's father
9) Your father's father's mother
10) Your father's mother's father
11) Your father's mother's mother
12) Your mother's father's father
13) Your mother's father's mother
14) Your mother's mother's father
15) Your mother's mother's mother
and so it goes

for me:

My Photo
Name: Michael John Neill
Location: Illinois, United States

I write "Casefile Clues" a weekly genealogy newsletter focusing on genealogy research methodology and interpretation. Every week I look at a record or a problem from one of the many families of my children scattered across the US and Europe. "Casefile Clues" does not try to "scoop" the latest news, rather I focus on using and interpreting records. My goal is to give you ideas to help you with your own research. Since 1995, I have written over 600 genealogy columns for both Ancestry and Eastman's Online Newsletter. My new columns for Casfile Clues are distributed only through this site.
