I have a simple chart showing my direct ancestors which is a useful crib sheet and used to be stuck inside my desk where I could see it. It is now folded up in a box folder which houses all the scruffy bits of paper I have accumulated since I downsized and left the real stuff in my daughter's loft.

How do you add numbers to siblings? I presume you are number 1, father 2, mother 3 etc?

I did one lot starting with the couple who came to Australia, so they were 1, children were 1-1, 1-2, grandchildren were 1-1-1 if from number 1 child.
That doesn’t allow me to go further back though.
