#371 Ahnentafel Chart/Report Request
It would be great if we could have an Ahnentafel report
(mean's "Old Ones Table" - ancestor's table). The report
shows in a list all direct ancestors of the selected
individual. The list is numbered, so that you double the
individual's number to get the individual's father, and
double plus one is the individual's mother. See example
below:
1. John Smith
2. Patrick Smith (John's father)
3. Mary Owens (John's mother)
4. Allen Smith (Patrick's father)
6. Joseph Owens (Mary's father)
7. Elizabeth Brown (Mary's mother)
14. Jebediah Brown (Elizabeth's father)
15. Cordelia Arnest (Elizabeth's mother)
31. Erica Jost (Cordelia's mother)
It wouldn't show the parentheses items, those are just
to describe how the Ahnentafel report works. The great
advantage of this report is being able to see all the
direct ancestors on one page.
I would be willing to assist in the development of this
report.

Hi,
there is already something similar in PGV 3.2 :
Charts menus > Ancestry chart > Ancestry list
with "Show details" off.
ancestry.php?chart_style=0&show_full=0

You're right. It is an Ahnentafel, and has the numbering
system the same as an Ahnentafel, but it has too much
information, even with show details off. It still shows all of
the children of your ancestors, and it has numbers next to
each set of children (which are confusing numbers, because
they are unrelated to the Ahnentafel).
I suppose my request then is an improvement to the
Ancestors chart, where you can make it even more minimal:
Just a list of the names of all direct ancestors, perhaps with a
plus sign at each marriage that could open up to view kids if
you wanted to. This could also be a good PDF report,
especially since it looks like most of the code is already done.

Just to be sure we are talking about the same chart :
descendancy.php
- descendancy shows all children of one person with
d'Aboville number next to each child (eg: 1.2.4 means : 4th
child of the 2nd child of the root person)
ancestry.php?chart_style=0
- ancestry *list* shows ancestors using Sosa-Stradonitz
numbering system (father=2 mother=3 etc...) and it DOES NOT
show all children of your ancestors. There is already a plus
sign at each marriage.
Could you please check carefully those 2 charts and let me
know if something can be improved.
I do agree that this could also be a good PDF report.
You should be able to do it by yourself using existing
report pedigree.xml
