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.
