9. FAMILY TREES

Each family tree shows the reported children, parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of a family group. In order to reduce
redundancy, any family group which is wholly included within another family tree may not be reported separately.
Above each of the great-grandparent boxes (top row), a continuation family tree reference number is shown if the
great-grandparent is recorded as a child in the continuation tree. A continuation reference number is also shown to the left of a
grandparent or parent box if that individual has siblings reported in the continuation tree; and beneath a child box (bottom row) if
that individual has children reported in the continuation tree.
In cases of multiple marriages, a continuation reference number preceded by "=" is shown to the right of a parent box. This
number references the previous and/or next tree in which that individual is shown with another partner.
In cases of adopted (or fostered) children, the parental connection is shown with a dashed line and a continuation reference number
preceded by "=" is shown within the individual's box. This number references the tree in which that individual is shown with his
or her natural parents.
