What is Ancestor table?
An '''ancestor table''' (from [[German language]] ''ahnentafel'') is a [[family tree]] where people are shown in a numbered list instead of a tree. In the table, a person is listed as number 1, the [[father]] is 2, the [[mother]] is 3. Then, the [[grandparents]] can be added: * the father's father is 4 * the father's mother is 5 * the mother's father is 6 * and the mother's mother is 7. This can continue even farther, including the [[great-grandparents]]: * the father's father's father is 8 * the father's father's mother is 9 * the father's mother's father is 10 * and so on. {{stub}} [[Category:Genealogy]]
