How to Calculate Your Heredity Numbers and Their Meanings

The Heredity Numbers in your personal numerology is the total of your father’s last name and mother’s last name reduced to single digits.

Essentially, you inherit numbers from your parents.  Most often, the father’s surname is the one that dominates and is known out in the world.  The mother’s surname often becomes her middle name after marriage, when she assumes the surname of her husband.
