All children have half the number of their father, so Harold and his brothers and sister start with the number 4. Your direct ancestor, Harold, gets 4 only. The brothers and sisters add .1, .2, .3 to the four depending on their birth order. If Harold is the first born child, you would skip 4.1, and the second child would be 4.2. If Harold had been the third child, the 4.3 would be skipped. By number this way we know that any person with a 4, 4.1, 4.2 etc, is the child of #8, father, and #9, mother.
