This table shows my mathematical genealogy according to the MGP (see link, above) on the date shown (below). The directed edges in the graph are understood as follows:

an edge joins a 'supervisor' to his student in the cell immediately below, e.g. Gauss > Bessel,
an edge joins 'supervisor', [x], to his student, [x], in a cell somewhere below, e.g. Gauss > Gerling.

Yellow highlight indicates supervisors with more than 25000 descendents; 
green
indicates more than 10000 (& fewer than 25000) descendents.
