Checking the map’s missing parents

All 401 currencies and 360 admitted connections now agree across the whole-history map and enlarged histories.

The review examined every one of the 98 previously disconnected roots against the retained claims, relationship records and source references. The first pass restored New Brunswick pound to New Brunswick dollar. Targeted European research has since added five more connections. The remaining 92 roots are research gaps, not claims that those currencies had no ancestors. Read the European findings and qualifications →

New Brunswick: pound to dollar

The 1860 Act required public accounts in dollars and cents at four dollars to the existing local pound, effective 1 November. Parallel pound columns remained permitted. The map now draws that direct connection between the two retained currency identities.

Map projections and highlighting

Enlarged histories previously cut off ancestors of outside relatives after one generation. They now include the incoming chain for every currency shown. Automatic checks find no omitted parent or undrawn admitted connection in any of the 18 views.

Highlighting walks backward and forward separately from the selected currency. It never turns at an ancestor to include that ancestor’s other descendants, or at a successor to include that successor’s other predecessors. Every displayed connection participates, including later replacements and absorptions. Monetary anchors remain separate.

Scope and limits

The first pass reconciled existing documentation. The European follow-up read additional laws and scholarship for Belgian, Swiss, Spanish and Genoese accounting. This is not a fresh reading of every cited publication. Missing origin evidence, unreviewed candidates, coin design, common names and parity remain distinguished in the individual assessments below.
