Explanation genealogy construction

Genealogy of the Szparaga House is constructed in a logical way. Probably without reading the following remarks after a while you will understand its construction.

I suggest viewing from the “ABCD” file, where the beginning of four lines of the Szparaga House is presented:

• A. unknown by name
• B. Kazimierz
• C. Wojciech
• D. Sebastian

Next generations are marked by following signs:

• first generation: A), B), C), D), E), …,
• second generation: I., II., III., IV., V., …,
• third generation: I), II), III), IV), V), …,
• fourth generation: 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., …,
• fifth generation: 1), 2), 3), 4), 5), …,
• sixth generation: 1), 2), 3), 4), 5), ...,
• seventh generation: a., b., c., d., e., …,
• eighth generation: a), b), c), d), e), ...,
• ninth generation:1’, 2’,3’, 4’, 5’ , ... .

As You can see, owing to this system, every one of us and every one of our ancestors, received a sign (alphanumerical), that is locating him in time and space. I think, that this solution brings order into our genealogy which helps to merge in simplier way next successive generations (often in separated documents). It also gives possibility to show the links between any representatives of our ancestry.

The genealogy will be updated, first of all due to growth and other changes(please send all necessary information, that should be marked in the genealogy). I believe that owing to the mutual efforts we will be able to keep seeking in archives and parish registers, which will make possible to widen the knowledge about the history of our House. All willings are asked to contact me. I am encouraging also the young generation to do it – especially on holidays.

Full set of genealogy (regularly updated) may be find on our Internet site: www.szparaga.prv.pl

I wish you happiness in viewing our genealogy and following vicissitudes of our forebearers.
