Introductory Notes

[This material based on a presentation made to the National Genealogical Society's Computer Interest Group, July, 1986. Revised, December, 1987, for presentation to the Seattle Genealogical Society's Computer Interest Group. Additional revisions, April 1988, April 1990, February 1991, and November 1993.

[A good source of additional information on numbering systems is an article by Donn Devine in Ancestry Newsletter (Vol. 4, No. 1, Jan-Feb, 1986) entitled "How to Number People in Pedigrees and Genealogies." This summary of numbering systems used in genealogy is based in part from that article. Ancestry Newsletter is published by Ancestry, P.O. Box 476, Salt Lake City, UT 84110. Toll-free order number is 1-800-531-1790. A more recent article by Joan Ferris Curran gives excellent descriptions of the "Register" and "Record" systems but gives scant attention to other systems (in the case of the "Henry" system, the article is inaccurate). See "Numbering Your Genealogy: Sound and Simple Systems," National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 79, No. 3, September 1991, page 183.
