56. For purposes of this genealogy, Joseph Tweedy represents the first generation of Virginia Tweedys. He is the earliest Tweedy we can trace with certainty to present-day members of the family, though he may well not have been the first of his line in America.

Each descendant is given a series of numbers based on order of birth and separated by periods. Joseph Tweedy is No. 1. (This is arbitrary, since we do not know whether he was a first-born child or not.) Each successive generation has one more number than the last, based on the order in which he or she was born. This method permits the reader to locate direct ancestors or descendants of an individual simply by adding or subtracting the final segment of his or her series of numbers. For example, the children of 1.1.3. would be numbered 1.1.3.1., 1.1.3.2., 1.1.3.3., etc. It follows, then, that the parent of an individual can be found by dropping the final segment in his or her series of numbers and looking in the previous generation. For example, the parent of 1.1.5.3. would be 1.1.5.

In cases where two descendants of Joseph Tweedy marry, children are listed under the father's side only. Cross-references appear in the listing for both parents.

Not every line in this section is complete, and data is missing on many individuals. The author would appreciate hearing from any descendant who can add to this genealogy so that future editions can be more complete.

The author's own line, from Robert William Tweedy (1874-1953) to the present is complete as of the date compiled and appears in Part 4 of this document. That line is not duplicated in this section.

57. This is the same Robert William Tweedy designated 1.1.4.1.4.1. in the genealogy in Part 3 of this document. The same birth-order system used in Part 3 is used in Part 4. The first five numbers in the series have been omitted for simplicity's sake.

Persons whose names appear in italic type entered the family through adoption and are not biological descendants of Robert William Tweedy.

58. The generations are counted from Joseph Tweedy, just as in Part 3.
