Subject: [HOISINGTON-L] Msg#98-53 How to read database in the archives
Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 17:56:05 -0700 (PDT)


Hi, all.

Birdie took me up on the invitation to check the Hoisington list archives
and had a question that others might have (it looked perfectly logical to
me when I sent it!!).

The database (as input from Harry Hoisington's book; see me if you want
more information or updates) is set up in alphabetical order by first name.
It was once a table, so you can convert it back if you wish by selecting
the text, doing "insert text to table" using tabs as the delineator. The
fields (listed across) are as follows:

>First Name Birth Date Death Date Generational Number
>Source

>
>Marion Leroy 1887 (30 MAY) 1917 (12 DEC) 2.01.08.02.03.03
"
The following would be read "Marion Leroy Hoisington", "born 30 May 1887,"
died 12 Dec 1917", and he was (reading backwards) "the third child, of the
third child, of the second child, of the eighth child, of the first child,
of the second child of John Horsington".

If you want to find the the ancestors of this person, you would have to
have the complete database. But his Hoisington parent would be person #
2.01.08.02.03 and his Hoisington grandparent would be #2.01.08.02, etc.

If you don't have enough hard disk storage to keep all this at the ready or
are just in a hurry <vbg>, just give me the number of the person you are
interested in and I'll give you the ancestry, siblings, spouses, etc.
Please address your requests to the list, so that everyone will get the
information.
