In South Africa and most countries they make use of the De Villiers numbering system.
A is always the SV/PROG. You use those two instead of A.

Then his children are b - i,e, b1 the eldest and so on.

Their children are c, then theirs d, etc.

Byvoorbeeld/eg: SV/PROG, b2,c6,d9, e1, etc.

I hope it helps.

Thanks, Willem. That is a great resource.

Ah, yes. Things are starting to look a little clearer now. Thank you

Do we need to do something else for people to notice the drill downs and explanations on http://www.geni.com/projects/South-African-Stamouers-Progenitors ?

I don't know, Mauritz - I think understanding it applies to more than just the progenitors, so I'd duplicate that here too.
