In a report I'm trying to do for my grandmother's birthday, my son has the unique id number: [1411111311213111443411] I don't know about you, but I find that a bit excessive. Even if the numbering system is logical, that logic is lost at this level of complexity (22 generations back to ca.1300). There must be a better way. Is there a better way? Even if there isn't a better descriptive way, a simple 1++ would be more useful for me, who going to look up individual number [141111131121311144344] (my little brother) What about...
