Cascading Pedigree charts are a universal problem with Windows based
genealogy software. Cascading Pedigree charts are usually
numbered as
Person
1 on this chart is Person 8 on Chart 1
instead of using a proper Ahnetafel numbering
system. Then, using the standard Ahnetafel
match formulas, all other persons on the primary and secondary charts could be
identified and printed to the cascading Pedigree charts.
Genbox offers accurate numbered cascading Pedigree charts.
Genbox offers proper continuation of Pedigree
charts through several generations and several charts. To the right is a
partial sample of Chart 2 of a series of Pedigree charts for my maternal
grandmother. Note the first person on this Chart 2 is numbered 8.
Henry Huyck. This same individual is number 8 on Chart 1.
To print such a cascading series of Pedigree
charts using Genbox, select your starting individual and:
- Click Reports > Pedigree > Basic to
display the Pedigree Reports Options window.
- Select the Style tab.
- From the System drop-down list box, select
Ahnentafel.
- Click Make Report.
Genbox creates a series of cascading Pedigree
charts using the Ahnentafel numbering system to show continuity between
charts. Also, note that 8. Henry Huyck is shown with a source,
number 24. You can include sources on charts in Genbox.
