>> Preferences Reference Numbers Tab
These options appear under the “Reference Numbers†tab in Preferences.
To open the Preferences dialog box, click the File menu and select Preferences.
These settings allow you to assign automatic reference numbers:
Individuals — Activates the assignment of automatic reference numbers to individuals in your Family File. You can also choose the type of numbering scheme you want to use: Numbers only, Prefix plus numbers (a number preceded by up to four letters or numbers), or Numbers plus suffix (a number followed by up to four letters or numbers).
Marriages — Activates the assignment of automatic reference numbers to marriages in your Family File. You can also choose the type of numbering scheme you want to use: Numbers only, Prefix plus numbers (a number preceded by up to four letters or numbers), or Numbers plus suffix (a number followed by up to four letters or numbers).
Note that these settings are saved only in the family file you have open and will not carry over into other files.

>> Standard (Ahnentafel) numbers
“Ahnentafel†means “ancestor table,†and an ahnentafel is a special genealogical format that tabulates the ancestry of one individual by generation in text rather than pedigree chart format.
The ahnentafel number is the unique number assigned to each position in an ancestor table. Number one designates the person in the first generation whose descent is being traced. Number 2 designates the individual’s father; 3 designates the mother (the second
generation back). Numbers four through seven designate the grandparents of person number one (the third generation). As the ahnentafel extends by generation, the number of persons doubles.
Because an ahnentafel starts with the individual and moves back through the generations of forebears, the higher the ahnentafel number, the further back in time the person designated. <<

>> Starting number — Type the Standard (Ahnentafel) number for the primary individual in this field. Normally you would type "1" in this field. However, if you have a set of trees and you want the Ahnentafel numbers to be sequential from tree to tree, choose an appropriate starting number to type in the field. Ahnentafel numbers are only available in Ancestor trees.
