Commonly seen Genealogical Reports that are not supported

The New England Historic Genealogical Society developed the NGSQ descendant numbering system as part of their report format. That presentation format is used for publishing in the “National Genealogical Society Quarterly” and the “New England Historical and Genealogical Register” Superficially, some resemblance can be created with the Detailed Descendant Book (provided you tweak a bunch of options*)

The TreeAndLeaf.org website has a nice article on the format used in NGS Quarterly.


If anyone has a tool that can download a GEDCOM from FamilySearch, the data above is a earlier version Moses Moss; b. 1 Jul 1701 Lyons, Stafford, England; d.1736. Replicating a report with the same data might be eaiser than starting with unknowns on both sides.
