In order to precisely identify each +person and to clearly indicate their relationships with descendants and ancestors, the following method is +used: +\mni + Each person is assigned a unique identification number consisting of 1s and 2s, where the digit 1 +indicates a female and the digit 2 a male. The number of digits in the identification number depends on +how many generations back they are from +Eliane Herz, who is identified by the number 1. Her mother, +Coralie Weill is 11, and Coralie Weill's father is 112. +% +\mni +In addition to giving an identification number to individuals we want to arrange them in a definite order. +The +idea is analogous to the system used in dictionaries as illustrated in the following example with \lq +before\rq\ being indicated by the symbol\TH +{\bfsixteen <}\TH . +\sni +{\leftskip =45pt +\nin +{\it aa\/}\gl rdvark {\Th \bf <\Th} {\it abac\/}\gl a {\Th \bf <\Th} {\it abac\/}\gl k {\Th \bf <\Th} +{\it abac\/}\gl us +\par} +% +\mni +% +We use the same general idea for identification numbers. Consider the following couple: +\sni +{\leftskip =45pt % +% +{\tt 111\|21}\en {\bf Sophie Lang} +\sni +{\tt 111\|22}\en {\bf David \wr} + \par} + % + \mni +Being a couple, their identification numbers are identical except for the last place and because the wife has +a 1 in the last place she is listed before her husband who has a 2 in the last place. +\mni +Given the identification number \({\tt 112\|21}\) of Sophie Lang we immediately know that: +\sni +\item{} The male child \(Gottschau \wr\) of Sophie Lang has identification number {\tt 112\|2}, +\item{} The parents of Sophie Lang have identification numbers {\tt 112\|211} and {\tt 112\|212} \(Dina +Naphtaly and Baruch Lang respectively\). +% +\mni +% +Similarly consider the following three men: +\sni +{\leftskip =45pt % +% +{\tt 111\|22}\en {\bf David \wr} +\sni +{\tt 112\|22}\en {\bf Jacques Weil } +\sni +{\tt 111\|212}\en {\bf Baruch Lang} + \par} + % + \mni +% + David \wr\ precedes Jacques Weil because he has a 1 in the third place and Jacques Weil has a 2. + \mni + Baruch Lang is after Jacques Weil even though he has a 1 in the first three places, because his +identification number has one more digit and this in turn means that he is one generation earlier than +Jacques Weil. +\mni +In each of the seven groups of ancestors of \cw\ +the group is divided into generations and within a generation the lists of people follow the order just +described. To illustrate this consider the ancestors of Gottschau \wr. +% +\vfill\eject +% +\nin +% +His parents are listed as follows: +\sni +{\leftskip = 2.0truecm +{\tt 111\|21}\en {\bf Sophie Lang} +\sni +{\tt 111\|22}\en {\bf David \wr} +\par} +% +\sni +Next we have the grandparents of Gottschau \wr\ as follows: +\sni +{\leftskip = 2.0truecm +\hskip 2.1cm{\bf The Parents of Sophie Lang} +\sni +{\tt 111\|211}\en {\bf Dina Napthtaly} +\sni +{\tt 111\|212}\en {\bf Baruch Lang} +\mni +\hskip 2.1cm{\bf The Parents of David \wr} +\sni +{\tt 111\|221}\en {\bf Fromet David} +\sni +{\tt 111\|222}\en {\bf Schmulen Solomon} +\par} +% +\mni +In the examples given so far there was only one identification number, but +because the two grand\-mothers of Coralie \we\ were sisters, their parents and all preceding generations +will have {\it two\/} numbers. Thus, since Marie \kl\ was the mother of both Caroline \ml\ \({\tt 111\|1}\) +and Pauline \ml\ \({\tt 112\|1}\) she will have the two numbers obtained by adding a 1 to the numbers of +her +daughters and we find the same situation with Salomon \ml, the husband of Marie \kl. +\sni +{\leftskip =45pt +{\tt 111\|11\fsl 112\|11}\en {\bf Marie \kl} +\sni +{\tt 111\|12\fsl 112\gl\|12}\en {\bf Salomon \ml} +\par} +\mni +Further, since the Mandel and \wr\ lines have common ancestors, these common ancestors will have {\it +three\/} numbers. +\mni +Another consequence of both grand\-mothers being sisters is that, instead of {\it eight\/} +great-grand\-parents, Coralie Weill had only {\it six\/} great-grand\-parents, twelve +great-great-grand\-parents\dots . The number of possible ancestors is reduced even further when we arrive at +the ancestors with three numbers. +\mni +The length of the identification number also shows the degree of ancestry with respect to \cw. Thus her +parents are identified by three digits and her grandparents by four. Next come the great-grandparents +with five digits and great-great-grandparents with six. From this we see that the number of \lq greats\rq\ is +given +by the number of digits minus four and conversely to find the number of digits in a designation we simply add +four to the number of greats. The longest designation numbers belong to the three, six +times +great-grandparents of \cw\ who have ten digits. The oldest of these three would have been born ca.\th 1650. +\mni +\centerline{\bf Summary} +\mni +\item{1.} A female ancestor is indicated by a 1, a male ancestor is indicated by a 2. +\sni +\item{2.} Couples are listed in pairs and their identification numbers only differ in the last number, +namely a 1 or a 2. +\sni +\item{3.} The identification number of a child is obtained by {\it taking off\/} the last digit. +\sni +\item{4.} The identification numbers of the parents of a person are obtained by {\it adding on\/} a 1 and a 2. +\sni +\item{5.} The ancestors of any person are discussed one generation at a time. Within any generation people +are listed according to the order described above. +\sni +\item{6.} Marie \kl\ and Salomon \ml\ each have two identification numbers. Their ancestors will also have +two identification numbers with some of the very early ancestors of Salomon \ml\ + having three numbers. People with multiple numbers are listed according to their {\it first\/} +identification number. +\sni +\item{7.} \cw\ had only six {\it distinct\/} great-grandparents, twelve {\it distinct\/} +great-great-grandparents\dots . When we arrive at the ancestors with three identification numbers there will +be a further reduction in the number of actual ancestors. +\sni +\item{8.}The length of the identification number indicates the degree of ancestry with respect to \cw: +\sni +{\leftskip = 31.6pt +\pni \cw\ \({\tt 11}\) has an identification number of length 2. +\pni Her parents \({\tt 111} and {\tt 112}\) have an identification number of length 3 +\pni Her grandparents have an identification number of length 4. +\pni Her great-grandparents have an identification number of length 5. +\pni Her two times great-grandparents have an identification number of length 6. +\pni Her three times great-grandparents have an identification number +of length 7. +\pni Her four times great-grandparents have an identification number of length 8. +\pni Her five times great-grandparents have an identification number of length 9. +\pni Her six times great-grandparents have an identification number of length 10. +\par} +% +% +\par % seem to need \(sometimes\) +% +% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% KEEP THIS ENDING!!! % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +% +\vfill\eject +% + } % ends \rm + \par} % ends \hsize + \bye + + |
