PAF BOOK, The Book Generation Program, will use PAF data files to
create a book about a selected person (RIN). Output can be routed
to a file or printer. The internal PAF notes and external note
files may optionally be included.
The Henry Number System (with some modifications) is used to
number individuals. The numbering system consists of assigning the
original ancestor the number "1". Each succeeding generation then
takes the father's number and adds a digit from "1" up in the
order that the children are stored in the database. Thus if the
ancestor is John Smith and he is numbered "1" then his second
child would be numbered "12". Then "12"'s third child would be
"123".
A study of this system will reveal many uses of these numbers. The
number of digits in a number indicates the individual's
generation. Using a person's number you may refer to their
ancestor in any previous generation without tracing back
generation by generation. If you know the numbers assigned to any
two or more persons, their relationship at once becomes apparent.
After every third generation a "-" is added to separate the number
and make it easier to read. Thus the fourth generation number
would look as follows: "123-4". The index uses the number that is
given to a individual and not the page number of the book.
