Rowan Mayfair
This is what the genealogy software spits up if I try to add Cortland Mayfair as Rowan
Mayfair's father if Dierdre Mayfair is her mother...it happened with Lionel Mayfair as well...
The family tree maker software has a rather funny way of naming relations. As with any software, and for the Mayfair Family
Tree in particular, it's a good idea to go over those definitions and terms.
Don't be shy; if you have any questions or you'd like to make a suggestion, alert me to an OOPSIES, I can be reached by old
fashioned email at:

After uploading the Mayfair tree to genealogy software...yep. It choked!
But not completely.
The genealogy software can calculate how two people are related. Setting Rowan Mayfair as the "home person" the calculations
are based on how other individuals on the tree are related to her.
Here's the funny part, depending on your sense of humor.
The way the software choked was that it actually would NOT allow Cortland Mayfair to be entered as Rowan's father if Dierdre
Mayfair is her mother.
Something similar happened with Stella and Lionel Mayfair (assuming Lionel was, in fact, Antha's father).
Let's have a look at how Mayfairs are related to one another. I use genealogy software that calculates that relatedness and
gives a list.
The relationship calculator orders the list from closest to most distant relative. Lines are traced by individual, not by
couple. That means that a line of descent is not traced per pair of grandparents, but by each individual one.
The tangled lines of descent are NOT easy to untangle from a list because the calculator does give different names to the
same kind of relative. It also runs on the assumption that parents were husband and wife, and prefers to define relatedness
in those terms. What I would really like to see if I can do is to perhaps create a tree on the page that is interactive,
meaning you can click on arrow buttons or buttons of some type to open up and view all the different lines. Until then, I
will try to find ways to better define the relations between all of the Mayfairs.
The Mayfair family tree is actually an excellent example of how lines of descent are traced and why. Each individual grandparent
might also be related through another line. It sounds strange, but hopefully, I will find a way to show this in a way that
is easier to understand.

Let's start with Rowan Mayfair. Each person listed here has the way(s) they are related to Rowan Mayfair. For example, Cortland
Mayfair is the father of Rowan Mayfair, Michael Curry is the husband of Rowan Mayfair...
If you click on the Adobe Acrobat folder, it will open a PDF of Rowan Mayfair's family tree as an hourglass chart. It is...well,
let's just say it took 8 pages to show the entire chart.
There is one chart for Rowan Mayfair showing Lionel Mayfair as the (putative) father of Antha Mayfair, and one showing Cortland
Mayfair as the actual father of Antha Mayfair.
Lionel Mayfair
Cortland Mayfair
The Extended Family Chart for Rowan Mayfair is one I managed to reduce to spread across two pages, but the print might be
a bit tiny. As above, there is one chart showing Cortland Mayfair as Antha Mayfair's father, and one showing Lionel Mayfair
as Antha's (putative) father:

Whew! I added Petyr van Abel to show how an individual can descend from the same ancestor
with more than one individual line of descent. For Rowan Mayfair, this is A LOT of lines from the same ancestor...
