Help for the Descendancy Count

 
The Descendancy Count has the simple task of counting the descendants.

Keep in mind that the time required roughly doubles for each added generation. The search shown in the screen capture took about 20 minutes. (Unfortunately, the ASP/MS-SQL environment is slow on this type of search.)

Notes on discrepancies between the GMOL result and the Brothers Keeper result.

In BK, the number of descendants sometimes varies depending on which report is run. This difference is quite large for #36103. The "split database" count of descendants and the GED export give one number while the "Count of Descendants" gives another. The latter mostly agrees with this GMOL report.

For example, GMOL and the BK Count of Descendants match perfectly for #25715, #100970, #10398, #4495, #285726. #11984, #12433. They differ slightly for #20270, #3892, #25007, #17783.


A full 5-generation Descendant report listing the names of the descendants was created in BK for #36103.
For generation 4, the "Descendants Count" in GMOL reported 155, but the BK "Count of Descendants" reported 83. An actual count of generation 4 in the BK "Count of Descendants" Report yielded 155.
For generation 5, the "Descendants Count" in GMOL reported 384, but the BK "Count of Descendants" reported 211. An actual count of generation 5 in the BK "Count of Descendants" Report yielded 384.

It's clear that the descrepancies lie within BK.
