It concerns wealth and property aquisition: I believe the eldest, or first born, inherits everything!
If I am correct, the youngest enters the ministry of religion. (poor chap.)
The daughter: She marries into respectability or wealth. (hopefully both!)
What a brilliant idea!
Such a shame Britain's family values are set at zero.
My daughter is independent but lives with a stockbroker.
(The girls not perfect)
I'm thinking of setting up a property development company with my son.
He is devoted to a beautiful looking young lady and dotes over her little girl. The child, however, is not his.
I take my hat of to the boy!
This is all by-the-by, but there you go!
(I love winding some of you up because you can't half get your knickers in a twist!)
(makes me laugh!)
Anyway, I'm thinking of galvanising the power base within the family, they mean everything to me!
So, what's the answer?
P.S: Also looking for gorgeous female!
Im 41yrs!!!

No offense to the others who answered seriously - All I want to say is it's great to hear from a 'Brit' and the dry sense of humour. Yep, I'm a Canuck, and we too spell 'humor' - humour!! Good old English usage. Pip, pip, and all that rot matey. Love 'because you can't half get your knickers in a twist'. By-the-by, how is Her Ladyship these days. Haven't heard a thing 'bout the Queen or her 'brood' lately? Ta, ta fer now. Tally-ho, old chap! Cheers to you 'over 'ome'. Me mum was born in West Ham in 1910, so I'm half English &half Scot(thru me dad's side). I was born here - 1944. Cheerio!

Primogeniture is inheritance of titles and estates from father to eldest son. Applies to the monarchy and peerage.
"Traditionally", the second son went into the army, the third joined the clergy. Don't know what happened to the rest of the brood!

Knickers to the rest. I'm 35 and have all me own teeth. Let's get together.

although I'm not particularly sure about the extra details to your question, the process you are talking about is called "primogeniture."
