Naming Convention

Post by Alcluith » Thu Dec 22, 2005 4:54 pm

Need a little bit of assistance with naming convention for a Pedigree Chart. #-o

Working from yourself you have your Grandparents:

Father's Father; Father's Mother,
Mother's Father; Mother's Mother :D

Then you have Great Grandparents:

Father's Paternal Grandparents; Father's Maternal Grandparents
Mother's Paternal Grandparents; Mother's Maternal Grandparents :lol:

Then you have your Great, Great Grandparents: :-s

I am sure that there are a few out there that will have the right answer :wink:


How would you describe them? :?

there are 8 sets and I am at a loss to come up with a meaningfull description to identify each set.
:?
Burns, Quinn - Glasgow, N.Ireland
McLeod, Mackay, Nicholson, McNeil - Skye
James, McLeod, Sinclair, Smith - Renton
Davidson, Adie, Gibb - Aberdeen
Jolly, Wishart - Angus
Usher - Newcastle
Mullen, Roe - Dublin
O'Donnell - Ireland, Alexandria
