Abstract
In this chapter we give the formal definition of a labelled branching process and start to study one of its aspects: the fate of the label carried by the ancestor. Using quite well known results we are able to describe the extinction and the growth of the subpopulation of individuals carrying this label. Some of the formulae given in this chapter will be made use of in §4.2.
