: Several [[Genealogical_Numbering_Systems|Genealogical Numbering Systems]] have been adopted by genealogists for indexing family trees and pedigree charts in text format. Each system provides a consistent methodology to determine the appropriate & predictable identifier for persons in a Family Tree. Most systems assign identifiers relative to a focal person and are oriented towards Ancestors (an ascending system) or Descendants (a descending system). Common numbering systems represented by features in Gramps include: [[Genealogical Numbering Systems#ahnentafel|Ahnentafel]], [[Genealogical Numbering Systems#d'aboville|d'Aboville]], [[Genealogical Numbering Systems#de villiers|de Villiers]], [[Genealogical Numbering Systems#henry|Henry]], [[Genealogical Numbering Systems#meurgey de tupigny|Meurgey de Tupigny]], [[Genealogical Numbering Systems#register|Register]], [[Genealogical Numbering Systems#Sosa-stradonitz|Sosa-Stradonitz]].
