Sorry, newbie question : where can I attribute the sosa n°1 to a person ?
Thank you for help

Hello bastien,

we will see whether this was a newbie question or not: You'll get two answers from me.

1. Sosa numbers (also known as Eytzinger, Sosa-Stradonitz or Kékulé numbers) are usually not directly attributed to persons, as the number depends on the start person of a report: Everytime you change the start person in a data set, you would have to change all the numbers. So, in Ahnenblatt, the number is attributed to every person automatically every time you generate a report (ancestors' list).

2. There is a new function in the latest version of Ahnenblatt, where you can define the start number if it's not to be "1": You start the "Generate list" dialog an go to "Options" - you can set another start number when you want a partial list.

EDIT: Or did you want to know where to select the start person - well, it's asked within the list generating dialog. EDIT2: Or it is set in advance in File > Properties > Home person.

Which answer were you interested in?

Properties > Home person

Yes, thank you !
I think there's no ability (icon or direct link) to retrurn to home person when I'm lost in my tree ?

Hello Bastien,
just right-click and chose "Go to home person".

Ok.
Thank you very much.
Newbie is my job

By the way - I was a newbie, too, just one year ago. So be ashured that you can become an "expert" in Ahnenblatt things in quite a short time (well, maybe I'm not yet, but feels like...).
