  If you see your name written differently in different deeds. This does not mean that they are not your ancestors. Only filiation can determine which ancestor is identified in relation to another! Filiation: Principle that specifies the transmission of kinship. There is a filiation link between two individuals when one descends from the other or when both descend from the same person. All the social processes that define, from generation to generation, the kinship between individuals or the quality of membership of a social group Natural filiation: Kinship link that unites a child to its father (paternal filiation), its mother (maternal filiation) or both (parental filiation, which is only used when the child's parents are not legally married. Illegitimate filiation: As long as a child born out of wedlock has not been voluntarily recognised or has not established his filiation in court, he is legally a stranger to his father and mother, who are under no obligation to feed, maintain or educate him. He or she is not entitled to inherit from them, but like any foreigner, he or she can receive gifts from them or be made their legatee.

It will no doubt point out the inconsistency of a parentage in which the mother is 10 years old, or an aberrant age. But if you link a child to the wrong father..., the software will itself be a source of errors, often because of its - very practical - advanced features. For example, auto-completion can transform a «François» into a «Françoise», an individual to whom the software automatically assigns the female sex. An unfortunate merging of two individuals or the integration of...
