Dan's example

This is a dummy how a genealogical ancestor table could look. More ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated! (Was someting like this already done? I haven't found it anywhere/ Dan Koehl 13:01 Dec 9, 2002 (UTC)

Generations

I	II	III	IV
Proband: proband	Father: father	F. Father: fathers father	F. F. Father: fathers fathers father
			F. F. Mother: fathers fathers mother
		F. Mother: fathers mother	F. M. Father: fathers mothers father
			F. M. Mother: fathers mothers mother
	Mother: mother	M. Father: mothers father	M. F. Father: mothers fathers father
			M. F. Mother: mothers fathers mother
		M. Mother: mothers mother	M. M. Father: mothers mothers father
			M. M. Mother: mothers mothers mother

A variation

Here is a variation on the original theme. I know that this is not the traditional format for an ancestor chart, however I believe a small break with tradition will afford us much space.

• I changed this a bit so that it includes the Ahnentafel (or Kekule) numbers, which are in my opinion indispensible. Tables are still very confusing to edit, it would be possible, I think, for someone with the requisite programming knowledge to make a 'wiki-syntax' that takes a list of 16 names (proband plus ancestors 2-15) as an argument and displays it as this sort of table? -- Someone else 22:46 Mar 7, 2003 (UTC)

• Good idea with Kekule. Some colors wouldn't harm? (Grey?) What I like with this concept instead of a picture, is that it's fast, it's just like a textpage, and its rather easy to insert the names (hyperlinks). As with the script, Someone, that sounds really even better. But until then, I think this is useable...Dan Koehl 02:13 Mar 12, 2003 (UTC)

• Looks good, and its also usable for those using 800x600 screens!Dan Koehl 11:06 Mar 12, 2003 (UTC)

• Yes, and how about pink for girls and blue for boys, but only on Person 1 203.45.253.89 11:12 Mar 12, 2003 (UTC)

• Noooooo! That looks far too gaudy - Gaz 13:26, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

• Gets the point across though --Phil | Talk 13:42, Apr 2, 2004 (UTC)

• I've toned it down to see if that makes it any better (in 24 bit color) --Henrygb 17:50, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

• Not a bit better - It is unnecessary anyway - It is accepted convention that the father is above and the mother below on this type of chart - Gaz 12:55, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
