Ahnentafel means "ancestor table". It's a report of the starting person's ancestors. Children of siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, other spouses, etc are *not* your ancestors, hence they're not in Ancestor or Ahnentafel reports. I don't know of any program which shows this type of ancestor report. TreeDraw Legacy does allow you to create a chart with additional lines in it, so you could do that, but it has a steep learning curve and each line beyond the starting one must be added separately.
