For example, my parents, my parents' parents, my children, my children's children etc. Everybody in my family tree vertically.  I need specifically person, and "both" ancestors and descendants; not one or the other, and not both in general including side relationships such as siblings or cousins.

There are a lot of words describing ancestral relationships between people, such as:  parent grandparent great-grandparent any of the above can be described as an "ancestor".  child grandchild great-grandchild any of the above can be described as a "descendant".   I am wondering if there are single words (nouns) which describe any of the following concepts:  A person and all of his/her ancestors A person or any of his/her ancestors A person and all of his/her descendants A person or any of his/her descendants   Any ideas?

I was checking on something in the Harry Potter wiki and saw Harry listed as "Half-Blood."  Both his parents were magical, but, as we know, his grandparents on his Mother's side were muggles.  This reminds me of the racially loaded terms like octoroon.  (In the south, you still hear those terms every once in a while.)  When there was still segregation, having only 1 great-grandparent of an ethnic group was enough to classify a person of that group.  So how far down the line did it go in the Harry Potter universe?  Just how many generations removed from a muggle-born would a person have to be before they're no longer classified as half-blood or something similar?

Related to , what would the expected range and average shared cM be?  In this case, I'm seeing 64.0 cM over 3 segments.  Looking at the table, that is less than half the expected average (433 cM) and nearly outside half the range (115 cM to 753 cM).  In this case, the further (1R) path includes a terminal paternal link that is a undocumented father with family stories giving the link.  Does this cast doubt on the half 1C1R and perhaps suggest it is more likely 2C1R (and no longer halved), that is the father of the illegitimate child was not the other's grandfather but instead his brother?  In such a path, the cousins most recent shared ancestors are now a married couple, hence no more need to halve the relationship.   Source:

From  I have received the information of the person with the possibility of great-grandfather.   However, I have a bigger problem from here which is whether he really is my great-grandfather because there was a brother to him in the information.   If I can find his brother's descendants, then I may be able to learn the kinship with DNA testing.   How can I find the living descendants of this great grand uncle?  I was born and grew up in Japan where research is easy for me but I do not know the best way in Britain and Australia.  C.Z.Ede is the name of the candidate for my great-grandfather and his information can be found at   There is also a Mr Peter Zohrab site () which mentions "Sydney Cuthbert Ede, Eagleville Station, Talbotville, Victoria, Australia".  Mr Peter Zohrab from that site suggested that I look for descendants of Sydney Cuthbert Ede in Australia or New Zealand. However, I have not yet found any. I am also inquiring at the church in which he was baptized.

My colleague he have two brothers. I want to know, he is first/second/third son of his parents, ie., the order in the family among their siblings.  I can simply ask     Are you first son of your family?   It simply give some predictions, I don't want to that.  Is there a better way to ask the question?

I know this is the most typical example of branches and I think I don't get the concept... Could you help me by giving a detailed development leading to all the required branches? It'd help me understanding more complicated examples...  Thank you very much, this concept really is hard to understand for me...

I'm trying to use cat_is_ancestor_of() for custom taxonomy categories but it's not working. Is there any other way to check if a category is child of another?

I would like to know if there is a word or phrase for a systematic campaign to annihilate every descendant of a particular ancestor.   We have the word 'genocide' for killing off an entire race, and plenty of words for killing people based on how they are related to you (fratricide, filicide, et. al.), but looking over the  and the , I couldn't find a term for systematically killing an entire bloodline.   My question is prompted by a US news story about the horrific murder of 8 members of the same family, but those murders are not an example of what I'm thinking of because the children of the victims were left alive, so the motive for the killings was not to kill off the bloodline. The sense that some group had coordinated an attack against just one family is what made me wonder what the "not an entire race, just one bloodline" version of 'genocide' would be called.   Searching the Internet for "kill off" and bloodline sends me straight into the land of vampires, Illuminati, reptilian overlords, and, naturally, Priory of Sion nonsense so I haven't had much luck finding a thread to pull.   It may be that there is no word for it in the sense of murdering a human bloodline, because we just don't attempt kill off our royals down to the last heir often enough to coin a term for it. Maybe there is a scientific term for culling a line from a test population as part of biological research?

I have accounts on many Genealogy Related Sites (FamilySearch, Ancestry, FindMyPast, etc.) and other people are uploading stories and photos to our common ancestors.   Is it okay for me to take photos from Family Search and put them on Ancestry, and Vice versa? Are there some other rules associated with posting it?

I recently found 6 siblings 4 who are half and 2 who may be full.  My sister was born in 1949, I was born in 1950 and my brother in 1952. The other siblings all know who both their parents are. The three of us were adopted by different families. We all have the same birth mother but we can only guess as to who our birth father might be.   As far as I can tell on Ancestry his line no longer exists, unless there are a few more children out there not yet discovered.  The three of us are very interested to know if we are full siblings or half. I am confused by all the companies offering tests, and the 3 types of tests. What test would give us the most accurate result.

I'm building a web site where I have a list of topics, and I need to denote the relation between them. e.g.:    Topic: Italian. Ancestors: Languages -> European Predecessors: Verbs, Nouns...    Another example may be:    Topic: Internet Explorer. Ancestors: Software -> Browsers Predecessors: Menus, Add-Ons, keyboard-shortcuts...     And so on.  The problem is that I'm not sure "Ancestors" and "predecessors" are suitable.    Other options I had in mind are subtopics/supertopics, and children/parents.    What do you think? Which way articulates the meaning best?

I make use of the view: "taxonomy term". Is there an easy way to also show the children of a term, next to the nodes beloging to this term?  Example:  Cars - Volvo --- Family_cars --- Sports_cars - Honda --- Parts --- ... Trucks - ...   When you see the "cars" page I want to show all articles about cars (but not about Volvo, Honda, ...) AND I want to show the children (Volvo, Honda, ...) When you click one of these I want to show all the articles belonging with them, again with their children.

"My wife and I am" = one family, a singular number. Therefore satisfies  the use of "am" for both number and proximity issues.
