Usage[edit]

The template displays a Continental European style family tree: "bottom up" or "top down". Entries are added using ahnentafel numbering.

Parameters[edit]

((Ahnentafel-chart
|1=subject
|2=father
|3=mother
|4=grandfather
...
31=great-great-grandmother
))

N.B. Although this template will create a table up to great-great-grandparents (ahnentafel 31) it will be wider than easily represented on most screens and/or printers so consider using ((Ahnentafel)) or ((Ahnentafel-tree)) instead.

Optional parameters:

boxstyle_1=background-color:#fcc;
boxstyle_2=background-color:#fb9;
boxstyle_3=background-color:#ffc;
boxstyle_4=background-color:#bfc;
boxstyle_5=background-color:#9fe;

top_down= — inverses the "bottom up" template to be a "top down"
style_chart= — add style attritions to the table

Style works on the entries on each line

style_1=style — eg. style_1=font-style: italic; font-weight:bold;
....
style_31=style
