    Sr: Used only by widows.
    Jr: The son of the original.
    II: named for the original but not the original's son and born before Jr. Almost always a nephew of the original.
    III: The son of either Jr or II.
    After that, the numbers go up in birth order regardless of the suffix of the father. Thus if II has a son before Jr has a son, II's son will be III. When Jr then has a son, he will be IV.

    Sr. = Senior (the father)
    Jr. = Junior (the son)
    II = The second (named after his dad, and father of the next one)
    III = The Third (grandson of the first, son of the second)
    Don't know what P.E. means, except physical education, but I doubt that's what you wanted to know.
