I have my ahnentafel in Excel, but I just explain to people basically what Dick Eastman does. I just stress that even numbers are males, odd are females & then explain how to get to that specific number or if given a specific number how to break it down going backwards.
Hmm, maybe my way is more complicated, but as I said, I put mine in Excel, or a spreadsheet. But thinking of it like that for me, helps me get to the specific ancestor/descendant by those calculations.
