Dumes Key: AH The 'Dumes Key' is an easy way to determine someone's place in the family tree.

At the top of the tree are brothers Chaim (A), Jossel-Leib (B) and Schender (C). Each generation adds a letter; the letter represents your birth order, A for the 1st, B for the 2nd, etc.

So Sarah, first child of Chaim, is AA. Her husband, Jacob Kaplan, is Aa, the lower-case a indicating that he married into the Dumes family.

I've also used the lower-case letter for my two step-sons to indicate a non-bloodline Dumes relationship.


b. 30 Nov 1903 Viski

There was stories of another child of Chaim and Sheina-Freida. I think I heard about it from Lillian Zoll. She didn't know the name of the child, but heard that he died when his mother was nursing him in bed and she rolled over on him. It turns out that this story isn't true. He was a toddler who died of scarlet fever, according to his death record.
