When assigning numbers, you can specify which number the numbering should start with.
In a numbering system starting at 1 for a subject with siblings, all full siblings are numbered with 1 and an additional letter.
Multiple ancestors are assigned more than one Kekulé number, up to the maximum number set in the Omega settings under General | Kekulé numbers .
A maximum of 31 consecutive generations can be numbered.
The numbered persons are entered into the user-created directory of persons , Kekule numbers .
The Kekulé numbering always reflects the state of research/data entry at the time it was created. If you find and enter parents of your earliest ancestors, they will only receive Kekulé numbers themselves if you create a new Kekulé numbering entry.
Up to three Kekulé numbers for one person are indicated after person references with a preceding # in parentheses.
Normally, you would want to remove an existing Kekulé number from a record before creating a new one. The program will then prompt you before creating a new Kekulé number. However, some users prefer to keep multiple Kekulé numbers in a single record. For example, the Kekulé number might indicate that a person is of particular interest because they are an ancestor of a specific subject. With multiple Kekulé numbers, it is not clear which subject a given number refers to.
If another Kekulé numbering scheme is created without deleting the existing one, the newly numbered individuals will also be added to the user-created directory of individuals named "Kekulé Numbers" . To keep the individuals numbered in the previous Kekulé numbering scheme separate, first copy the "Kekulé Numbers" directory and then delete it before creating the new Kekulé numbering scheme.
Attention! It is not possible to create or remove Kekulé numbers when a person directory sorted by Kekulé number is displayed in the AGS Navigator. Therefore, do not attempt to perform any operations involving Kekulé numbers for the person you have just opened on the index card from within a person directory sorted by Kekulé number.
