How to read this Record Generated Using the
Henry Genealogical Numbering System
This record was generated using the Modern Modified Henry
Numbering System. The original Henry Numbering System was
developed by Reginald Buchanan Henry who used it in his
"Genealogies of the Families of the Presidents" which he produced
in 1935.
This sceme of indexing consists of numbering the children in
each generation in the order of their birth. The numbering
begins with a progenitor of a line who is assigned number 1. The
second generation are his children in order of birth who are
assigned a second digit in order of birth. His or her oldest
child becomes 11, his next child becomes 12, ect. If there are
more than nine children, capital letters are used in alphabetic
order. The tenth is given letter A, the eleventh becomes B, ect.
The 3rd and succeeding generations follow using the same
numbering sequence and methodology.
To Illustrate:
Generation Henry Number
(1) The Progenitor or common ancestor. 1
(2) Child number 3 13
(3) Child number 8 138
(4) Child number 10 138-A
(5) Child number 1 138-A1
(6) Child number 11 138-A1B
(7) Child number 3 138-A1B-3
The index to the report is unique in that is uses the Henry
Report Number of each individual to identify it's location within
the report. As all Henry Numbers are sequential and progressive,
it is simple to find each individual. KEEP IN MIND THAT ONLY
DIRECT DECSCENDANTS OF A PROGRNITOR ARE ASSIGNED TRUE HENRY
NUMBERS.
PAFBOOK identifies the number of spouse's, as well as their
parents, using the Henry Number of the progenitors descendant.
These are identified by using their husband's or wive's Henry
Number and adding a =H (Husband) or =W (Wife) and their
appropriate marriage. In this way multiple marriage are
recorded. i.e: The spouse of 138-1 would be 138-1=H1 if female
or =W1 if male. Using the same example, were there more than one
marriage they would be recorded as, 138-1=H1 and 138-1=H2 etc.
Parents or spouses are identified using the spouse's number and a
F (Father) or M (Mother). i.e: 138-1=H1F.
Thus:
138-1 [Fourth Generation] is the 1st child of the 8th child of
the 3rd child of the progenitor.
138-1=H1 would be the first husband.
138-1=H1F would be the first husband's father.
