Find a copy of "Guide to Genealogical Writing" by Penelope Stratton and Henry Hoff, published by NEHGS in 2014. On p 20 at the bottom of the page you will see a perfect example of what a true ahnentafel report should look like. The Ancestor Report in Legacy is just a reverse Descendant Report, not a true ahnentafel which was the request of the person who started this thread.
My main PC is down so I can't include a sample with this email, but somebody at Legacy should be able to find this book!
