Arbor consanguinitatis
Description
Consanguinity is a bond and arbor consanguinitatis is a relational scheme showing that a person descends from others and that the kinship link is a triple line, i.e. descending, ascending and collateral. These bonds are organized in lines and measured in degrees. Degrees are the appropriate means for determining proximity in kinship relations. In the collateral line, although not descending from each other, they are descended from a common ancestral trunk. The truncus (trunk) is the cellula vacua: from a divisio cellularum every distinct part of the tree appears.
