Reading list: Ancestral Family Histories (AFH)
The Pratt Progenitor Papers comprises of a selected ancestor and reporting on their descendants for a numbered generations. This is known as a descendancy book.

Under the PPP format, all known descendants are represented in that book including each child and their spouse for a chosen number of subsequent generations.

The Ancestral Family History (AFH) consists of choosing a living descendant, and producing a book from the descendant following direct line ancestors as far as the research has been completed.

This type of format is known as a pedigree chart listing as many as 30 to 50 generations concerning the number of ancestors of that individual.

Much more than pedigree charts, these books generate all known notes, articles, legal documents and if applicable, Cradle to Grave (C2G) Profiles on each and every direct line ancestor and their spouses.

Due to the extensive research, I have acquired over the last 38 years, I have accumulated a vast amount of family history information on thousands of people and it is not uncommon for these books to generate over 800 pages.
