ANCESTORS OF MARY WILLIAMS Wife of Albert Andrew Sears JULY 17, 2017 COMPILED BY ANNAMARIE WIGEN ENERSON ~ [email protected] With the help of Brother’s Keeper Genealogy Program ~ BKWin.net ~ and MS WORD 2 3 Ahnentafel Numbering Explained Ahnentafel is a word commonly used in genealogy although it probably confuses most newcomers. Ahnentafel is a German word that literally translates as "ancestor table". It is a list of all known ancestors of an individual and includes the full name of each ancestor as well as dates and places of birth, marriage, and death whenever possible. It also has a strict numbering scheme. Once the reader is accustomed to ahnentafels, it becomes very easy to read these lists, to move up and down from parent to child and back again, and to understand the relationships of the listed people. Ahnentafels are very good at presenting a lot of information in a compact format. However, the numbering system is the key to understanding ahnentafels. To visualize the numbers, first consider this typical pedigree chart: 8. great-grandfather 4. paternal grandfather-| | 9. great-grandmother 2. Father--| | | 10. great-grandfather | 5. paternal grandmother-| | 11. great-grandmother | 1. Person-| | | 12. great-grandfather | 6. maternal grandfather-| | | 13. great-grandmother 3. Mother--| | 14. great-grandfather 7. maternal grandmother-| 15. great-grandfather Carefully observe the numbers in the above chart. You will notice that every person listed has a number and that there is a mathematical relationship between parents and children. The number of a father is always double that of his child's. The number of the mother is always double that of her child's plus one. The number of a child is always one-half that of a parent (ignoring any remainder). In the above example, the father of person #6 is #12 (the father is double the child's number). The mother of #6 is #13 (the mother is double plus one of the child's). The child of #12 and #13 is #6 (the child is always one-half the parent's number, ignoring remainders). Now, let's take the above chart and write it in ahnentafel format: 1. person 2. father 3. mother 4. paternal grandfather 5. paternal grandmother 6. maternal grandfather 7. maternal grandmother 8. great-grandfather 9. great-grandmother 10. great-grandfather 11. great-grandmother 12. great-grandfather 13. great-grandmother 14. great-grandfather 15. great-grandmother Notice that the numbers are exactly the same as in the pedigree chart. The rules of father=2 times child, mother=2 times child+1, child=one-half of parent, etc., remain the same. This is an ahnentafel chart.
