Write everything you know about Alexander. Then write ‘his children were’ and list them:

1 Donald Matheson, the next member of the direct line, so after his name type ‘see below’

2 Alexander Matheson. Put anything you know about Alexander and his descendants here. If he had children, then write ‘his children were:

1 Hamish Matheson.

2 James Matheson: if he had offspring, then…

1 Jean Matheson

3 Margaret Matheson. If you have absolutely loads on Margaret and her descendants, you might want to open a separate ‘chapter’ for her and put her at the top of her own narrative document.

Donald Matheson, son of Alexander.

Write what you know about Donald, and so on.
