Subject: Specifying beginning Ahnentafel Number
Date: Sun, 01 May 2005 20:35:59 -0400

I would like to generate a series of Direct Line Ahnentafels to display
the lineage of a particular individual. But rather than generate a single
Ahnentafel, which results in a report for all families in each generation,
the direct line approach enables me to describe each family in turn, from
earliest ancestor down to the most recent one.

But to properly relate these multiple direct line Ahnentafels, I would
like to impose the beginning value of the Ahnentafel on the youngest member
in each family. For a particular individual, his Ahnentafel number is 1,
that of his father is 2, and of his mother, 3. When I generate a direct
line Ahnentafel for his mother, I would like to be able to specify her
number as 3, not 1, and have TMG generate the proper numbers for her father
(6), his father (12), etc.

Is there any way that I can do this now? Or is this an item for the wish list?
