. Intestate succession in the state of New York, showing the rights of the living to the property of deceased relatives undisposed of by valid will . s, twelve instead of sixteen great-great-grand-parents, etc. Tt should be remembered that each ancestor is asource from which collateral relations may have de-scended. In cases of succession, where collateralsare admitted, the tracing of collateral descendantsfrom these sources becomes very important, and nosource can be neglected without rendering the list ofrelatives obtained subject to error. The task of tracing out collateral relationshipsmay be increased by a second or other marriage ofan ancestor with a person whose blood does not flow inthe veins of the deceased, and thus a set of collateralrelatives of the half-blood may be found. The number of descendants or collateral kindred ofany particular degree or designation is necessarilyindefinite, and ascertainable only by inquiry. Thenecessity of a rigid inquiry in such cases, lest anyshould be omitted, cannot be over-estimated. Tcz^le (P Po^maZJ^i^t^ /^ /- ^ falhir yrancLfather franeL A Tnothe.
