Stewart, I do not understand what you mean by "Incidentally - here is a challenge - once you know the Ahnentafel number (from the book report) - by converting it to a binary format can tell you the exact relationship to the starting individual and provide a trace of their genealogical relationship as well as any "ladder" formatted report." How do you convert to a binary format? Thank you Jennifer -- To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. ---Anatole France
