A lineage chart, or pedigree chart, is similar to a family tree chart. It takes one person and goes straight back as many generations as possible. 1 person, 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents etc. Below is a lineage chart for each of my grandparents, Annette (nee Lessman) Locketz, Sidney Sherwood Locketz, Phyllis (nee Jacobs) Oster and Harry Oster (born Hans Daniel Ostertag). By referring to these charts, you will be able to see how all the people I describe in my blog are connected. But since this only goes backwards, not sideways (yet), you cannot see, for example, how Harry Oster and Albert Einstein are third cousins. If you’d like access to those charts, contact me.
