[It is arguable that the apparent discrepancies between the numbers of generations shown below and the few dates given should hold us back from including all of the sections. We have not done so as that might be seen as disrespectful to the works of John O'Hara (and subsqequent editors) which, incomplete as they may be in some respects, nevertheless were remarkable.]
