An Ahnentafel Chart is simply a pedigree that has been turned into a list.

Look at a pedigree chart.  See how the person the chart is about is marked "1"?  The father is 2 and the mother is 3?  From then on, each father is double the number of the child and the mother is double plus one.  So the father of 2 is 4, and the mother of 2 is 5.  Who would be the parents of person 36?  They are 72 and 73.  By flipping through the numbers in this manner you can trace a family line through an Ahnentafel Chart.  There is also a names index at the back of the chart.
