Ahnentafel Chart for BEULAH SCOTT

To read this type of ancestral chart, double the number of the person to find that person's father.
For example, #3's father is #6, whose father is #12, whose father is #24, and so on up the line of generations.
As I hit an end-of-line (dead-end) those ahnentafel numbers will drop out, although the other parents' numbers continue on. When I find more information eventually (hopefully!), I will plug the new names into the page into the correct place, with their ahnentafel numbers now visible.

First Generation

1. Beulah SCOTT was born 26 December 1907 in Vandalia, Fayette County, Illinois. NOTES: When her mother died, she was six years old and she remembers a neighbor woman taking her behind the barn and cutting her hair all short, thinking the father would be unable to take care of a little girl's curls.

Beulah married Bert Ralph WHITEHEAD, son of James Wayne WHITEHEAD and Dora Isabell "Ida" PRUETT on 22 August 1925 in his brother-in-law Bert Smith's home, Loogootee, Fayette County, Illinois. The marriage ended in divorce. Bert was born 29 March 1901 in Fayette County, Illinois. He died 22 February 1989 in Vandalia, Fayette County, Illinois.

SOME DESCENDENTS OF WILLIAM SCOTT

To read this genealogical register of descendants, look at this example:

+ 10 M ix. Berrey Guffey was born 27 February 1860 and died 9 November 1935.

The plus sign (+) means he has descendants, so you will find him and his own family of children later too, with even more info about him listed there, just look for the 10 again later in the list. Then you see his own "ID number (10)" then whether or not he is "male (M) or female (F)" and then the Roman numeral means "which number child he is, within his siblings." He is the 9th child born in that family. i=1    ii=2       iii=3      iv=4       v=5      vi=6     vii=7      viii=8   ix=9   x=10   xi=11 and so on. If there are no + signs, it means that either that person had no children, or I don't have any information about any children (and I would like to know some!)
