Compare Ahnentafel Details

These comparison functions are accessed via a right click (Control-Click on Mac) from multiple places in the program:

Each option will display a fresh screen where all the common groups or surnames will be listed on the right-hand side. When a group or surname is selected, the left-hand side is appropriately populated.

A couple of points to note:

  • A group name / surname list can only be produced when there are matches present on screen (any screen)

  • A group name / surname list can only be produced when at least two matches have an Ahnentafel loaded

  • A group name / surname list can only be produced when there are common group / surname names

  • Other profiles who have Ahnentafels loaded and who also share with the match will be included in the group names and surnames list, and it's possible that the resulting lists may be from profiles only, and not include any surnames or groups from the match.

Populated view

Selecting any group name from the right hand list will populate the left hand area with information from other loaded Ahnentafels that also have the same Group Name.

The # column indicates how many instances of the group name appear.

Columns and information displayed includes:

  • Relative name

  • Paternal Match and Maternal Match - the couple that makes up the Group Name being viewed. It is possible to have only one name present. If a couple appears multiple times in a match's Ahentafel, they will be listed multiple times.

  • Gen - the number of generations between the Relative and the group name couple

  • Status - as currently assigned to the relative

  • MRCA Note - as currently assigned to the relative

Each column heading is clickable to sort by that column, which may assist in seeing patterns.

A right click (Control-Click on Mac) menu is available on the left hand side populated view that should be self-explanatory.

As with the general "Compare Ahnentafel Groups" selecting any group name from the right hand list will populate the left hand area with information from other loaded Ahnentafels that also have the same Group Name.

The difference here is, that the groups listed are confined to those that match the active profile.

Here we can also right click on the right hand list to Compare Group Relatives more closely.

A right click (Control-Click on Mac) menu is again available on the populated view that should be self-explanatory.
