Have you ever been elated at the discovery of a compiled family history for your ancestors, only to find yourself confused by all of the numbers and what they mean? Family lineages presented in text, rather than in graphical format, require an organizational system to allow the user to easily follow lines down through descendants or back toward the original ancestors. These standard numbering systems are used to show relationships between generations in a family tree. In other words, who is connected to whom.
When numbering your genealogy, it is best to adopt a well-established system that is easily interpreted. Even if you're using a genealogy software program to compile your family history, it is still important to understand the differences and formats of the most widely-used numbering systems. If you plan to publish your family history, genealogical quarterlies, magazines and other publications may require a specific format. Or a friend may send you a pedigree chart which uses one of these numbering systems. It isn't necessarily important to learn the ins and outs of every numbering system, but it helps to have at least a general understanding.

Common Genealogical Numbering Systems
While genealogy numbering systems vary in their organization, they all have in common the practice of identifying individuals and their relationships through a specific numbering sequence. Most numbering systems are used to display descendants of a given ancestor, while one, the ahnentafel, is used to display the ancestors of an individual.
- Ahnentafel - From a German word meaning 'ancestor table,' an ahnentafel is an ancestor based numbering system. Good for presenting a lot of information in a compact format, and the most popular numbering system for ascending genealogies.
- Register Numbering System - Based on the numbering system used by the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, the register system is one of several options for numbering descendant reports.
- NGSQ Numbering System - Sometimes referred to as the Modified Register System from which it was adapted and modernized, this popular descendant numbering system is used in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly and in many other family history publications.
- Henry Numbering System - Yet another descendant numbering system, the Henry System is named after Reginald Buchanan Henry, who used it in his 'Genealogies of the Families of the Presidents.' published in 1935. This system is less often used than the Register and NGSQ systems, and is not accepted for certification projects or by most genealogical publications.

it was amazing Shelves: read-2017, fiction, middle-grade, elementary-grade, advanced-reading-copy
First things first, let me just say that The Great Treehouse War was a lot of fun to read. I started reading it and before I knew it I was near the ending. Despite being way over the intended age group for this book, I still found myself able to read and appreciate it a lot.
The Great Treehouse War is about a young girl named Winnie. Winnie is your normal 10ish year old girl (she is in the fifth grade). She has friends, likes art, and has the worlds most amazing cat. She also has parents that dec..more

The Great Treehouse War appeals to every kid's desire to have their voices heard and to be able to make their own decisions. Even as an adult, I can remember feeling this way when I was younger and wishing that I would hurry up and grow already.
And who wouldn't love to have a treehouse like Winnie's? Especially one with a zipline to your favorite uncle's house! Needless to say, I enjoyed this fun and whimsical story, and I thought the overall message was a positive one for children and adults a..more
Woohoo!
Ok, so I have to say I didn't appreciate the fact that the kids were so disobedient and so disrespectful, and the way parents were portrayed as dump, stupid adults. That's not what we want kids reading and learning.
The plot was actually rather enjoyable. I didn't love the unfinished part, where none of the kids got what they asked for and none of them got punished for what they did. It was really frayed at the end.
As for Winnie, it was interesting to see what she saw when she used her 'Ar..more
Stupid. No part of the situation was plausible, none of the characters felt real or were more than cardboard icons. Bonus star for diverse races and family situations, and for the concept, I guess. I might have liked it a little bit when I was a kid but I never would have felt any heart for it.
I hope Umbrella Summer isn't Graff's only good book.. I do want to try others by her.
Btw, heavily illustrated in a style that reminds me a lot of Lois Lenski.

I'm tagging this cats because Winnie's Buttons is truly 'the world's greatest cat.' I'm tagging this coming-of-age because it is a rare middle grade (not middle school) book that explores the end-of-5th-grade-going-to-middle-school phase, rather than being about 12 year-olds who already are in middle school. I'm tagging this empathy because that is Winnie's super power (she calls it artist's vision) and what helps her to solve the problem that the epic sleepover turns into. I'm tagging this hybr..more

I love Lisa Graff's books. They're so fun and generally really sweet, but there's also an undercurrent of real emotion.
It sounds pretty fun to have parents who are literally competing over who can show you the best time, right? But it's not as great as you'd think; Winnie's parents have spent so much time trying to curate the best experiences for their time with Winnie that they forget to do things like make sure she's having a good time. (Or that she's doing her homework, which she isn't.)

I have very mixed feelings about this one. I love the concept but there were some parts of the delivery that were a real miss. I'm trying to read my notes that I scrawl as I pull into my school parking lot after listening to the audiobooks on my commute.
Looking at the cover students may think it's more juvenile than it is. I think this is targeted to 4th and 5th graders as well as some 6th (6th might be stretching a bit far though).
Overall there were many parts of this book that were just sad...more

If Winnie’s parents weren't acting so obsessively strange, and so hung up on spending exactly the same amount of time with her, the great treehouse war, as it was being called by the media, probably would not have happened. When Winnie Malladi-Maradi’s parents divorce and decide to share time with her equally, they also decide that since there are uneven days in the week she will spend Wednesday’s by herself in the treehouse located between both their houses. With both parents trying to outdo ea

Caleb (age 6): 'This book was my favorite book that I ever read. I highly recommend it. It's about a girl named Winifred. Her parents were acting like wankos. Her dad got Thanksgiving because he got Thursdays with Winifred because of the divorce system. She really wanted to study for the exam for her grades. Her parents had agreed that Winifred would get Wednesdays to herself, but then her mom was going to take 32 of them, but on the Wednesday before the first, she stayed in the treehouse. That'..more

A cute story concerning a protagonist who tries to protest her 'caught in the middle' role in the bitter custody fight between her divorced, bickering parents. The Great Treehouse War teaches children the significance of activism in a very small context but children will be enthralled by a story of a brave girl who stands up to adults. Furthermore, the fact that the main character is hinted to be of another cultural background really throws in something different in the mix. Plus, young readers..more
This was another Sequoyah nominee. Lisa Graff does not disappoint. We have all had disagreements in life. Winnie takes it to the extreme. She is suffering through her parents divorce and they are as well. Because they are not being reasonable, she escapes to her treehouse and won’t come down. Her friends join her and the world’s most amazing sleepover (until it’s not) ensues. All the kids realize things about themselves and the book is very enjoyable. Written in a very unique style, this book is..more
This rating is on behalf of my 10 yo son, who loved this book. We listened to it together and I thought it was a great story too, well tuned to the target audience (the characters are all in 5th grade) but still interesting enough for me (ie, not all fart humor.) It was a story about finding the balance between speaking up for yourself and considering others.
A smart, well-written, humorous, and thought provoking book about family relationships and friendship. All Winnie wants is for her recently divorced parents to talk with her together, but they’re so obsessed with outdoing each other they never hear her— until she moves into her Treehouse. A great book for parents and kids to read together. I love this one!

Good one.
Really enjoyed the extremes that Winnie’s bitter, divorcing parents went to as they made sure their time with her was divided fairly. Really cracked me up, and while it was far-fetched I do think lots of kids could relate.
Enjoyed this premise and had a great time reading it!
A young patron recommended this book to me, and I'm glad. I like the author, and the tale is endearing, primarily because of the strong friendships among the kids. The parents look like buffoons, but even they come around. And this appeals to anyone who has ever wanted a treehouse in their back yard.
Love all of graff’s realistic fiction titles. Absolutely adorable story!

There are a lot of things you should probably know to understand why a bunch of kids decided to climb up a treehouse and not come down.
- First Line
Imagine a never-ending sleepover in a treehouse with 9 of your best friends. Just so you know, the treehouse has a bathroom (but no stove), two floors, a craft station, a platform for deliveries, a skylight, and a zipline. The thing is, the kids are staying in the treehouse and refusing to come down until their parents give in to their demands. While..more
I usually love Lisa Graff's books.. this one just did nothing for me. I found the post it notes to be a bothersome distraction from the story and I never really became invested any of the characters. There was none of the emotional depth of Lost in the Sun or Absolutely Almost.
That being said, I know some kids who will definitely enjoy it and think it's a fun summer read. I won't hesitate to recommend it to them at the library.

I usually love Lisa Graff for her ability to balance kid appeal and emotional insight. This has plenty of both, though I didn't love the post-it notes scattered throughout, and I wanted to smack Winnie's parents. Hard. Still, kids will love this. Kids decide to stand up to their parents, embrace independence, and live in a treehouse until their demands are met? Yeah, I can booktalk that.

This book is a fun read--the idea that children discover a tree house in their little community that actually sits on foreign soil and take it over to get their parents to listen to their demands is intriguing. I think every adult can probably think of a time when they were convinced their parents were being terribly unfair and would wish they had an escape that would give them the authority to make demands for change. And I think every child has knows there are things their parents are absolute..more

This book literally had me laughing out loud.
Winnie is in the 5th grade, and her parents decided to get a divorce. They are very strict on making sure that they both get EXACTLY 50/50 time with Winnie. This should be a good thing right? That her parents want to spend as much time with her as they can? Her parents buy a house that the two backyards join. In the middle of these two backyards is a HUGE tree. Because there is an odd number of days in the week, Winnie's parents decide that 3 days of..more

Winnie's had just about enough of her divorced parent's bickering, unpleasantness, and one-up-manship to last a lifetime. Her parents have decided 'to be fair' to divide their time with Winnie exactly evenly. The problem is, however, that there are seven days in a week..an odd number. So..they allow Winnie to live alone on Wednesdays in the treehouse that is exactly halfway between their two houses. Built and designed by Uncle Huck, they all know it is safe and has everything Winnie will need..more

I've always had a hard time reading books that walk the thin line between realistic fiction and make belief. To me there is something odd about mixing the familiar with fake and it often produces something that is campy. As I read books that fall into this category I often picture some cheesy made for tv movie on Nickelodeon. The premise isn't out of this world, but it is stretched far enough that the justification for what happens and how it comes to be is not at all believable. Plus then you t..more
