paper NUMBERING SYSTEM USED IN GENEALOGIES

·         All genealogies use a Modified Henry numbering system, where each person is assigned a unique number. This identification number consists of the parent's number with a digit added indicating order of birth. Thus, the children of the person with number 344 would be numbered 3441, 3442, 3443, etc. The tenth child is given the letter A, the eleventh B, etc. For more information on numbering systems, see http://www.saintclair.org/numbers/ on the Internet.
