Miscellany

These documents are of a more or less general nature and don't really fit anywhere else. So I have made a special place for them — and this is it!

10. M-Tafel: Matriarchal Table Representation: A new tabular presentation of ancestors is described. Similar to the Ahnentafel, or Ancestor Table, the presentation is essentially a balanced binary tree. The difference here is that only the female ancestors are represented. The purpose is to capture in as compact form as possible, all of the different ancestral surnames in their hierarchical placement. The new format is called a Matriarchal Table, or M-Tafel.

11. Outline Descendant Tree (ODT): Report Format: The salient characteristics of the ODT (Outline Descent Tree) report format, as used on this website, are presented here. This format shows the descendants of a person in outline form, where each generation is indented. It is a depth-first display, as contrasted with a breadth-first display. Each person's data is displayed on a single line (which may be word-wrapped for display purposes). The ODT is a very compact representation. (ODT.html 2006-01-19 15:20:04 37KB)
