shodai means first generation, nidai means 2nd gen, sandai means 3rd gen and so on... if thats what your asking...

 

The article is saying that there was a second generation (nidai) that used the same name. He could have been a student or son of the shodai. Apparently the exact connection is unknown.

Yes, thank you Adam, that is what I was asking. I guess I did not get why the two were together and not placed as different smiths other than being seperated by a generation. I was attempting to map the lineage, but there is not way of knowing if these two were father-son. LY
