Hi Norma, What a wonderfully complex family you have. Now that you've clarified, I suspect you may have found a bug as the report is perhaps only generating the numbers in the child list for one of the lines.
I wonder whether the other numbers would be there if you didn't tick Don't repeat duplicate lines? When you do a pedigree chart which also has the ahnentafel numbers, do they all have numbers and get the right numbers? What happens when you use the Don't repeat duplicate lines? This is a difficult problem to test without making a suitable test file. Are some of the people marrying to create the duplicate in different generations down from the common ancestor? With large families you get people of much the same age who are in different generations. I'm much the same age as a number of my first and second cousins once removed. My cousin marriages are in the same generation - so I don't reach a duplicate line until I'm above the point of the family where there is descent from more than one child. I am getting two numbers on the child list. I don't think I have an example of three.
