                Every person in the database has been assigned a number -- in correspondance
                with Gordon, you will most likely see that number after your name ..... this is
                your "family tree branch number".
                
                This number identifies exactly where you are in the family -- and on a given
                family tree drawing.
                
                Here is a diagram with examples to help understand the numbering system:
            
 
            Each family tree in our family tree orchard is assigned a letter designation. Letters being used so far are listed to the left. This letter represents the progenitor of the part of the family shown on any given tree drawing.
                Children of the progenitor are numbered in order of birth... In the generic
                example shown here: J1 thru J(10).
                
                The children of each of the children in the first family are subsequently
                numbered in birth order within each of their own families.
                
                In the example diagram above, J3 had three children.  They would be numbered
                                              J31 thru J33.
                
                Each family in turn would be numbered similarly, as can be seen on the diagram.
