Re: [ranchos] PLACING RELATIVES

OK, then, Joseph,

How do you write and pronounce all those subsequent generations: primera, secunda, tercera, (I don't know how to say the rest). Also, why is pentabuelo listed as antepasado de 6th generation when "pent" means "five" to me. It looks like the pentabuelo should go with "5th". I did like the list though since it tells me what comes after abuelo and bisabuelo, etc which I didn't know before.

Thanks,

my email address is makas@...r.com 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
9.   Octabuelo, antepasado de 9ª generación
10. Eneabuelo o Nonabuelo, antepasado de 10ª 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.
