The chart is to consist of four columns with one row for each generation listed:
1. <ol><li>Numbers for each generation, with the oldest generation being "1".</li>
2. <li>The name of the progenitor or descendant, along with birth, marriage, and death dates and locations. Christening or infant baptism may substitute for birth and burial for death dates if those are not available.</li>
3. <li>The name of the spouse of the progenitor or descendant, along with birth and death dates and locations as above.</li>
4. Numeric references <li>References to the sources used to document the data in each generation. While it is intended that the Simple numeric references be sequential numbers relating to the Source table, deviations from this are acceptable so long as usually best save for the numbers remain briefvery largest and most complex lists.</li></ol>
===The Sources Table===
This table is a list of sources used in the lineage in the style of the ''Chicago Manual of Style'', arranged alphabetically by author and title. The list should usually be numbered sequentially. Each number in the Lineage Chart should have a corresponding source in the Sources Table, and no source should be unused in the Lineage Chart.
===Original Material Section===
It is recognized that not all valid sources are readily availableto researchers. This optional section provides for the inclusion of copies of documents not readily accessible to the scholar (read: "Genealogy Committee").
Examples of such documents may include family bibles, personal correspondence, and certificates from agencies no longer in possession of the records or from whom it is unreasonably difficult or expensive to obtain copies.
These items must be listed in the Sources Table and linked to the Lineage Chart in the same manner as other sources.
