I turned off the printing of everything in the report options to get the shortest version, but the vitals for each person are included. I found that my "first missing ancestor" would be #32. However, the report doesn't really give me a clue whose father that is... So, it assumes we know how the numbers relate, right? And it is #16's father, right? I think this stripped down version is fine for the stated requirement, especially since it's not like you're going to print it. Mine is only 6 pages anyway for 10 generations. Thanks for this interesting topic. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

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.
