Re: [ranchos] PLACING RELATIVES


 
my email address is makas@... but just call me Joseph because makas means scissors and isn't my name.

As far as I know there isn't any generally accepted alternative to the Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Great Great Grandfather, etc designations.

there is this in spanish:

1.   Padre
2.   Abuelo, antepasado de 2ª generación
3.   Bisabuelo o Segundo abuelo, antepasado de 3ª generación
4.   Tatarabuelo o Tercer  abuelo o Trasbisabuelo o Transbisabuelo o
      Rebisabuelo o Trasabuelo o Tresabuelo, antepasado de 4ª generación
5.   Trastatarabuelo o Cuadriabuelo o Cuatriabuelo o Chozno, antepasado de 5ª generación
6.   Pentabuelo, antepasado de 6ª generación
7.   Hexabuelo, antepasado de 7ª generación
8.   Heptabuelo, antepasado de 8ª generación

 DEAR MAKAS:

  IS THERE A SYSTEM OTHER THEN USING THE "GREAT" WORD TO NUMBER 

 SITUATION IN THE LINE? WOULD IT BE CORRECT, INSTEAD, TO NUMBER AS

  FALLOWS: SON, FATHER-MOTHER, GRANDPARENTS, GREAT-GRANDPARENTS, AND

 THEN MENTION THEM AS THIRD-GRANDPARENTS, FOURTH-GRANDPARENTS AND

 SO FORTH? I THINK THAT WAY IT'S EASIER TO VIEW THEIR PLACES IN THE

 GENS LINE.
