Book excerpt: Excerpt from Index to the First Seventy Sheets of the Pickering Genealogy The headings of all the sheets are the same, as they contain the first three generations of the Pickering family, to all of whom John Pickering (1-70. III. 1) and his wife Sarah Burrill (17-70. III. 1) were common ancestors. The descendants of the fourth and suc ceeding generations appear in the columns below the headings, each column containing the names of those who are of the same generation or degree of descent from the first John Pickering and in the columns containing the names and dates of the fourth and fifth generations, the names near the top are printed vertically, in order to save space, as the names so printed are in general the same on several sheets. In the other columns the names and dates are printed horizontally, and each column of these generations is divided into four subordinate columns, the first containing the number which belongs to each individual of that generation, the second containing the name of the individual, the third the date of birth, and the fourth the date of death. If any descendant has married, the line immediately below his or her name contains m, standing for mar ried, with the date of marriage and the next line contains the name of the wife or husband (printed in italics) with the dates of birth and death. In all cases husband and wife have the same individual number, that of the Pickering descendant being printed in Roman type, and that of the husband or wife in italics. In case of a second, third, or fourth marriage, the individual numbers belonging to the first, second, third, or fourth husband or wife have a small number (1 2 3, or 4) placed to the right and a little above them. If children result from a marriage, their names appear in the column of the next generation on the right, - the name of the first child being printed in line with the date of marriage of the parents, and the other children following in the order of their birth. Blank spaces are left below the names of the parents corresponding to the number of the lines occupied by their descendants in the succeeding generations and the name of the brother or sister (next in order of birth) of the parent will be found printed in his or her own generation column on the line below that occupied by the name of the last descend ant of the aforesaid parent, or of that descendant's husband or wife. In general, it may be said that the name of each child is printed one line below that of the last descendant of the preceding child of the same generation.
