A bit more on the deadly results of Rowan's unrestrained rage on this page of the Parlor:
Rowan's Rage
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.
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.

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...
