TNG Ancestor Charts

Graphical formats

"Standard" charts have a lovely graphical format that shows the name and birth/death years in a box for each person's box. Additional data for each person can be pulled down from that box. They are in the shape of a standard pedigree chart, with empty boxes for ancestors that are not present in the tree.. Unfortunately, they generate so much whitespace that they require a lot of scrolling to read, and are virtually impossible to print. (But see the "PDF" chart below.)
"Vertical" charts are also lovely graphical charts. These flow down up instead of across the page. Since vertical charts do not use blank boxes for ancestors who are missing from the database, they are more compact than the "Standard" charts. But you cannot pull down additional data from each box. And depending on the number of ancestors in the tree, they can be too wide to print.
"Compact" charts are like "Standard" chart in their shape, but their boxes are much smaller because they contain only names.
"Box" charts are like "Standard" chart in their shape, but their boxes are bigger because they contain some of the data that is pulled-down from the "Standard" chart boxes. As a result, they are even more unweildy than the "Standard" charts.
"Fan" charts are remarkable. All I can say is "try one".
"PDF" chart are variants of "Standard" chart. They create a one-page PDF file that can hold up to six generations of data.
Most PC's these days can generate PDF printouts of any web page, but PDFs are distinctive because they control the page margins and page breaks,
The "Map" is not a chart. Rather, it is, well, a map. The places of ancestors' birth, marriage, and death are shown as pins on the map. It's pretty remarkable - you should give it a try, though the map would be easier to interpret if the pins were colored or numbered to represent generations.

(The graphical charts' connecting lines sometimes disappear at certain zoom level. When they are missing, you can use you mouse scroll wheel or hit control-plus or control-minus to change the zoom level.)

Text formats

"Text" charts are shaped just like the "Standard" charts, with lines drawn from person-to-person. They just don't put each person's data into graphical boxes.
"Text+" charts are quite distinctive, and unique to TNG. They are kind of a cross between the graphical and text formats. They are much more compact than the text charts, partly because they do not leave blank space where ancestors are missing. The ancestor tree extends to the right like typical charts, stretch vertically rather than horizontally, and can includes upwards of 15 generations in the width of one printed page (albeit sometimes with legal-length paper in landscape mode). They are also much more flexible than the other formats, with several (perhaps too many) run-time options.
"Ahnetafel" charts follow a standard genealogical text format that is descriptive - more like prose than a 'chart'. They contain almost all of the data that I have for each person, including free-form notes. But they don't give the kind of visual overview of the family tree that the other charts give.
"Media" charts are not focused on media, and they don't actually show pictures; they just indicate whether each ancestor's record has media item attached to it. (They don't distinguish between photos, scans of documents, and other types of media.) Their presentation of ancestors is very simple, and easy to read and print.

Generation: 3

John Womble was born about 1805 in Tennessee, USA; died about 1855.

Other Events and Attributes:

Residence: 1840, Claiborne County, Tennessee, USA; I cannot be confident that this is the right John Womble, but his age and his wife's age fit, and he disappears from Claiborne county after 1840. They are listed with 2 children. I know of only 1, but there could easily have been 2.
Residence: 1850, Subdivision 26, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA

Notes:

Died:
Since Nancy married Levi Trewhitt some time after 1854, and there's no evidence of him in the 1860 census, I'm guessing that John died in the 1850's

John married Nancy Brackney?. Nancy was born on 18 May 1806 in Virginia, USA; died on 19 Jun 1885 in Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA; was buried in Fort Hill Cemetery, Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Nancy Brackney? was born on 18 May 1806 in Virginia, USA; died on 19 Jun 1885 in Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA; was buried in Fort Hill Cemetery, Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA.

Other Events and Attributes:

Residence: 1850, Subdivision 26, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA
Residence: 1860, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA; Married to Levi Trewhitt
Residence: 1870, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA; Living with daughter Mary Hassell
Residence: 1880, Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee, USA; Widowed; Living with daughter Mary Hassell

Notes:

The name - whether maiden name or previous married name - of Judge Levi Trewhitt's 2nd wife Nancy was a long-term mystery that I finally solved in 2017, with the help of Barbara Myers Morgan of Mobile, Alabama, who uploaded a photo of her great--great grandmother, Mary Brackney Womble. Writing on the back of that photo was the key to my conclusion that Nancy Truewhitt was probably born as Nancy Brackney. See the story attached to Nancy Brackney and Judge Levi Trewhitt for details.
