I’ve replaced all individual IDs of my Sosas, their descendants and any collaterals by a french guy system: Beruck numbering.

It’s quite simple and efficient:

- ascendant number don’t change from sosa : 1, 2-3, 4-5 & 6-7, …
- descendants takes father’s ID and their firstname initial (upcase for men, lowcase for women) :
  - 2A is a son of 2 which have a A as fisrtname initial
  - 2m is her daughter, she is m something (Mary)
  - 2m2 is her second daughter witch have too m as firstname initial (maybe Marianne)

- spouses ID is their spouse ID follwed by & and their firstname initial:
  - 2A&v v is a woman (lowercase) spouse of 2A
  - 2A&v&E E is another spouse of v from a previous or a following wedding
  - 2Aa is a male children of 2A
  - 2a&vb is a female chidren of v from another spouse than A

- parents ID of collaterals are Sosa again:
  - 2A&v-2 is the father of v,
  - 2A&v-3 her mother

It gives that:
