The Ancestor Fill report – a helpful genealogy report focused on improving data quality in your family history research. This report identifies gaps in a person's pedigree, showing where you need to "fill in missing ancestors" to create a more complete family tree.

This text report provides statistics for a specified number of generations of ancestors related by birth, indicating the number of individuals found and the completeness percentage. By highlighting incomplete generations, the report helps to prioritize efforts and generate more complete pedigrees.
