Narrative Report on Descendants of Fred H. HirschIn this report, the Modified Register [genealogical] numbering scheme assigns a number 1 to Fred (born 1885) as progenitor and then numbers each of his children:  2 through 11.  Then continuing through each generation of children.  Spouses are not descendants and thus are not numbered.  The plus sign (+) in front of a number indicates a marriage event occurred for that individual, and a paragraph exists in the report relating to that individual and their family.  Fred & Ella Hirsch plus three generations of descendants.  [PDF file submitted by M.
