Family Tree Information

Who is Included
The tree includes all known Rumreichs, nee Rumreichs, their spouses, their children and their children's spouses. Only those who have an understood connection to the tree are included.

Indentation and Color Coding
Indentation level and color are used together to identify generations. Color is especially useful when you are comparing sections of the tree which are far apart.

Order of Names
Siblings are always shown with the oldest first and the youngest last.

Similarly, spouses are always arranged with the blood family member on the left. (This retains the original family structure.)

Maiden Names
Maiden names are used exclusively throughout the tree.

Second Marriages
Second marriages are shown as though the family member had a younger sibling with the identical name.

Identifying Relationships
Indentation and color coding can be used to quickly determine the relationship between two people in the tree. Just find the lowest common ancestor between two relatives and locate the relationship of one of the relatives to the common ancestor on the top row. Locate the relationship of the other relative to the common ancestor in the left column. Where the row and column meet is the relationship of the two relatives to each other.
