Mathematical Genealogy
The Mathematics Genealogy Project keeps track of the "genealogy" of mathematicians, where the "parental" relationship is that of PhD Advisor. Some students have more than one advisor, so the line of ancestry can have branches, but my main line of ancestry is as follows (with years referring to year of PhD or equivalent).
Roderick Edwards (1994)
Reinhard Illner (1976)
Jens Peter Guenter Frehse (1968)
Harro Heuser (1957)
Helmut Wielandt (1935)
Issai Schur (1901)
Georg Ferdinand Frobenius (1870)
Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass (1854)
Christoph Gudermann (1841)
Carl Friedrich Gauss (1799)
Johann Friedrich Pfaff (1786)
Abraham Gotthelf Kaestner (1739)
Christian August Hauser (1713)
Johann Christoph Wichmannshauser (1685)
Otto Mencken (?)
