We need specially to have sources and index names in all ascendance and=20

hum...it's a poor report.  I prefere the ability to have the choice to add=

Ahnentafel or Sosa-Stradowicz numbers to all the ascendance reports and=20
charts (important in France)

I'm not very happy with these reports. I know it's difficult to have a good=

descendance chart..

OK but I prefer the ascendance sheet report with boxes that I posted yester=
day

But my main purpose is to launch a debate to get an original ascendance boo=
k=20
and a descendance book too which are more complete than these one..
The problem to have a good book is the fact that an history is made confuse=
d=20
with the many different lines (in ascendance and descendance). So, I would=
=20
like to have the ability to have only the "patrilineal" line in ascendance=
=20
(is ist correct in english ? It's only the ancestors of your name) and the=
=20
same in descendance : "agnatic" report.
=46or ascendance, it's the Sosa 2 - 4 - 8 - 16 -32 - etc...
=46or descendance, ti could be a tag to mark the "preferred" person.
With such restricted number of ancestor or descendant people, we can have m=
ore=20
detailed informations about every person. I joint two samples inspired from=
=20
Geneweb reports.
