I think I misunderstood you the first time. With each new linear
Ahnentafel, you want to skip the people who were already in the
earlier Ahnentafels, but keep the numbering the same. I don't think
you can do that directly from TMG.

If I were you, I'd generate all the reports starting from my
great-grandson, send them to a word processor, and then edit out the
duplicate people. This would also keep the generation numbering
consistent from report to report.
