THE NARRATIVE SECTIONS

The "Direct Relations" section reports the details of individuals who have a direct family connection to William L Edington. The section is broken into sub-sections for each generation, within which the individuals are listed in order of closeness of relationship. The sequence numbers are used throughout the document to cross-reference back to the detailed entry of an individual.


FAMILY TREES SECTION

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 in angle brackets 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.


RELATIONSHIP PATHS SECTION

The "Relationship Paths" section details the path of the relationship from William L Edington to each individual reported in the document. To facilitate cross-referencing, the relationship reference number in this section is shown wherever the relationship is described within the other sections.
