This page makes use of HTML forms and JavaScript to present an interactive Ahnentafel chart. The form below is viewed best when your browser window is wide enough to show only eight lines of buttons/boxes. If your web browser supports forms and JavaScript, you should see 11 buttons and 8 boxes in the form. If you see the buttons, but they don't do anything, your browser does not support JavaScript.
For each person, I have provided year and place of birth (using RSL country codes). The year is displayed as **** if person is still alive.

The highest ahnentafel code used is .

Index of surnames having at least three generations. Try using your browser's View Source option to see all names.

Each button does something. Here's what to expect:

Start
Load the form with names. The first button to press once page has loaded.
Prev,Next
Navigate by ID number. Will move to previous or next person based on person's ID number.
Reset
Restore form values to those present when page was first loaded.
Child
Since this is an ancestor chart, rather than descendants, there is only one child per couple. Pressing the "child" button will mve to the child of the person in the middle of the form.
Other
The other buttons simply move the person beside the button to the centre of the form, then updates the form to show that person's parents and grandparents.
In an Ahnentafel chart, each person is assigned a number according to the following rules:
1) Someone has to be number 1 - The chart for whom the chart is created. In this case that is my son, Walter.
2) A person whose number is "n" has a father "2n" and a mother "2n+1".
No more rules.
You can enter an Ahnentafel code number into the form beside the child button to go directly to a particular person in the chart.
