I haven’t used reports much and need some recommendations. While populating some test Trees, I decided to use various Genealogical Numbering Systems as the Gramps IDs. But I find some of the systems very convoluted. NGSQ (for descendants) seemed fairly straightforward but has the worriesome assump…

The detailed ancestral report and the hourglass graph have an option to display Ahnentafel numbering.

Here’s Wikipedia’s description of the various numbering schemes [image] Genealogical numbering systems Several genealogical numbering systems have been widely adopted for presenting family trees and pedigree charts in text format. Among the most popular numbering systems are: Ahnentafel (…

No problem regarding the language issue. Browsers offer the option to translate. (Although we must forgive a few “my hovercraft is full of eels” problems.)
