As a family tree, it can usually be divided into six parts.
I. Introduction
The preface is similar to the preface of this book now, which can be written by people with high expectations in the family or by outsiders. This genealogy is mainly seen through the eyes of another person or others. Usually, the new order comes first, and the old order should be included and placed after the new order.
II. Introduction
Even for one's own family, not many people can fully understand it, so it is necessary to introduce one's family first, which can be mentioned as follows: examples of genealogy engraving, participants in the creation (revision) of this genealogy, when and why it should be revised; What is the basis of this coding? The general situation, history, migration history, current distribution and number of families; The clan and word generation of the family, that is, the naming rules of each generation are recorded; Location of ancestral graves and distribution map of each generation in ancestral graves; Ancestor investigation and textual research.
In short, there is no specific person here, just a description of the whole family.
Third, numbers.
In fact, the genealogy itself is a person's record, but usually, one or more outstanding typical figures or groups will be recorded in the genealogy. When recording these outstanding figures, there are often various formats, including the biography of this person, the manuscript of his articles, the fame he won, the official name, pictures, portraits, inscriptions and so on. It should be noted here that historical celebrities with the same surname must not be forcibly incorporated into this genealogy, even if it is a small hint. Because when future generations continue the spectrum, they often pass it on because they believe it is true this time.
Fourth, the lineage table.
Bloodline is the most important item in the family tree. The simplest genealogy sometimes has only one genealogical table. The pedigree table records the relationship of everyone in the family. In computer terms, this one-to-many structure is a "tree" structure, but it is often more complicated in practice. When a family is big and there are many people. Heirs will come in (through adoption, adoption, giving away) and move in and out.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) world outline list
Usually, only the genealogy table is meaningless. In the face of some names that are not celebrities, what else can you know except these words? A good way is to add an outline list, which is a table to record the resumes of all ethnic groups in the lineage list. This part can be merged with the lineage table or listed separately. I think it's better to list them separately, because the combination of the two will often lead to a heavy genealogy table, which is very troublesome to find members.
I have read several genealogies. Many genealogies only write the names of fathers, the number of wives, the number of children and the number of names. Although this writing seems to be quite standard on the whole, it is of little significance in fact, because the genealogy table itself can express this information. I don't think everyone can have a complete resume, but at least it should include: death date, main position, professional title, main place of life and work, my work resume, main achievements, wife's name, wife's wedding place, wife's father's name, wife's resume, children's name, daughter's wedding place and married name. In this way, not only the wife's genealogy can be found in the family, but also in the family.
