Format of family trees
- Each direct descendent of the Head of the tree is described in one line, with
- generation number
- gender — 'x' for male, 'o' for female, '?' for unknown
- given name
- surname in ALL CAPS
- birth and death dates (if known) and city (if known)
- if known, a '#' precedes a reference number to a record in the archival book of that year
for the city of Krakow, unless another city is cited
- in some instances, an event was recorded in a later year,
in which case that fact will be shown in parentheses.
For example:
Mar 15, 1834 (1836 #75)
indicates that the birth on Mar 15, 1834
was recorded in birth record 75 of the year 1836 in Krakow
- A person's spouse is shown in the following line
- '+' before the name indicates a wife
- '*' before the name indicates a husband
- The children of a (married) couple are shown,
in chronological order when birthdates are known,
under the lines of the (married) couple
with a common indentation
and a common generation number that is one more than their parents'
- A person's second spouse (presumably after death or divorce
of the first spouse)
is shown after the lines of the descendents of the first spouse
- '??' to the left of a person's entry indicates significant uncertainty of the association of that person to the family.
Such uncertainty typically arises as to whether
- that person is a child of the listed parents, or
- one of the listed parents is the true parent for that subfamily
(as opposed to some other person with the same name)
