What is the best numbering system for genealogy?

The Ahnentafel method is perhaps the most common genealogical numbering system. In fact, Family Tree Magazine's free five-generation ancestor chart has Ahnentafel numbers built in. How does the Ahnentafel system work? The root person (say, the genealogist) is assigned the number 1.

How many ancestors do you have 10 generations back?

The 10th generation by itself, will contain 512 ancestors. But a 10 generation list of ancestors contains 1,022 because this is the total number of ancestors for the 2nd to the 10th generation inclusive. Ancestors are traditionally recorded on a PEDIGREE CHART.

How do you number individuals in genealogy?

They begin with the first person in the genealogy, the progenitor (William Walker here), and continue sequentially with his children in birth order. The sequence continues with the children of Generation Two and succeeding generations. Each person has a unique number.
