I have inherited a genealogical tree of my family which was greated by a British genealogist. Most of the names are followed by "b" which I can interpret as meaning "born" (b. 1784) and some also have "d" which must be the date of death. But many have "fL" (fL 1871). This only seems to occur when there is no date of death. Can anyone tell me what "fL" stands for?

In the nearly 30 years I've done genealogical research, I've never seen this term. But I've found what it means! It is Latin, and means . fl. floruit - was alive at a certain date (fl 1991 = was alive in 1991)
Thanks for helping me to learn a new term!

F. L . Indicates FAMILY LINE.It divides the lines between blood and marriage relations.Sometimes a Family Line (i e. The last male of the family line dies or has died,) will end so they highlight the marriage line .The wife or their chidren,especially the son.

nicely!!!!!!!!! The Plantain plant (???? ????).... The heirs improve out from the parents,.. it quite is the main reason of the cost given to the banana and plantain leaves in Tamil Nadu on all auspicious activities. there is even a saying: "??????? ????" consequently, Plantain fits the "genealogy" next, Banyan (?? ???? ).. it quite is an occasion of a joint kin!!!!!!
