Howland Davis and Gene A, I agree with Howland that Legacy does *NOT* provide an Ahnentafel Report. At best, Legacy provides a semi-stripped down ancestor report which passes for an Ahnentafel Report. IMHO, an Ahnentafel Report simply provides the following:
#1. My name #2. My father's name #3. My mother's name #4. My father's father's name #5. My father's mother's name #6. My mother's father's name #7. and on Legacy adds much more, such as information pertaining to the parents of each person above, generation numbers, spouses, and on. Howland wishes "to create a short Ahnentafel report in order to find my first unknown ancestor ." I would like to do that for my family also, but the Legacy report is *NOT* short, not concise, etc., as the generally accepted Ahnentafel Report is.
