Some of Amanda Monroe ESTES's lines can be traced back six generations.

In the chart below, a person's father has a number that is twice the child's number and a person's mother has a number that is one number higher than the child's father's number. Thus the father of number 6 is number 12 and the mother of number 6 is number 13.
