Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Make an Ahnentafel Report

 Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night again -

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):

1)  Have you made an ahnentafel report ("name table" in German) recently?  Show us yours!  How did you do it?  Which program did you use?

2)  Write your own blog post, or leave a comment on this post, or write something on Facebook.

Here's mine:

I used RootsMagic 9 (Publish > All Reports and Charts > Ahnentafel > chose myself, 20 generations) to make this list of my ancestors through 20 generations.

Here is the first page: 

And the second page:

There are 203 pages to this ahnentafel list.  It includes the ancestors for whom I have a name and/or birth or death data.

RootsMagic does not provide a way to identify how many people are in each generation.  I wish they did!  Other programs do.  I usually count the names in each generation.  I haven't done that yet today.

Added and Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - Week of 12 to 18 August 2023

=======================================================

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category. Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to   https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link). It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
