Pedigrees: Breconshire
Pedigree Charts are a common tool in genealogy studies as a means of displaying the ancestry of a given individual, or the descendants of a given individual. A pedigree chart concentrating on all the ancestors of a single individual is also called a “birth brief”. A chart on these lines will often concentrate only on the male line of descent, so that the marriages but not the children of female descendants are recorded. In this way, the pedigree will encompass only those who share the same surname.
Equally common is the “family tree” form of a pedigree chart, which shows the descendants of a particular individual, and thereby highlights sibling and cousin relationships, which would not appear on the above pedigree chart.
In addition to the names of individuals, it is common to include each person’s birth, marriage and burial place and date. In England and Wales pedigrees were officially recorded in the College of Arms, records going back to the middle ages. Pedigrees continue to be registered at the College of Arms on a voluntary basis, but are not accessible to the general public without a payment fee.
