See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnentafel for what a REAL Ahnentafel Report is and looks like.
Most family tree programs are all off base when it comes to this type of a report.

While the Ahnentafel Report shows all ancestors of a selected person, the 'Direct Line' variation on this report shows only ancestors on a particular line of ascent. With that exception, all of the options related to the Ahnentafel report are also available for the Ahnentafel - Direct Line. The direct line is the important part. It includes similar information to an Ancestor report (or an ahnentafel report), but only for the direct line from person a to person b. From me to my oldest ancestor with the surname Smith, for example. Often I have cousins that I have met through our genealogy work to whom I need to send my information about the family we share. I need to have a report that only deals with the information that is common to us both, i.e. a direct-line ahnentafel report.

Have you tried running an Ancestor Book report? In Legacy v8 it's under Report > Ancestor Book. In Legacy v7.5 it's Reports > Books/Other > Ancestors. You can include or exclude types of data in this report as you please. Is this what you're looking for? If not, what's the difference? Kind Regards, Wendy Jane Sarles said the following on 19/05/2014 15:59: I have tried various work-arounds, but would really like something that is not as labor/proficiency required. Like a report titled, "Ahnentafel". I am very easily confused and have some trouble with the various options of tagging and exporting. I will make the suggestion, but i think I have done that before.

In the meantime you could tag and export the people you want in the report and use the Ancestor Book report OR if that's not picking up all the details you want of the family members you want added, use one of the Descendant reports.
