Would Like to Make Table Showing How Many of Each Generation on Wikitree

Question

Hi,

Some people on Wikitree have tables on their profiles which show counts of their ancestor generations (parents, grandparents etc) listing how many of each ancestral generation have a profile on Wikitree. Could someone(s) who has done this, or knows of what I am referring to, post profile numbers so I can figure out how to do them? I have an ancestor (link below) and I am trying to see how some of my DNA matches are related to me, and think this might help me fill out ancestors for Reiland-27 and Utzig-18 (Utzig-18 is the ancestor of several of my DNA matches).

Thank you to any help you can provide.

Answer 1

I got a table code from Missy Berryann and then adapted it for my own use. Don't know if it will let me post the code without turning it into a table, but here it is.

I guess I could just change what I need to for my specific cases fairly easily. That is the idea, thank you very much.

You're most welcome. One of the reasons WikiTree is so awesome is that you can both get help and give help when it's needed.

Answer 2

Lincoln, go to the Ancestor Statistics app (menu under Find->Apps)

Once you log in it will spit out that table for you. Then use the wiki table Mark suggested and plug in the numbers so it displays as a table if you want it on your profile.

Thank you very much, Jonathan.

I learned something too on this one. Nice. Will have to try that app, Jonathan.
