David Emerson Brocious said: It is nice getting thanks from many I don't know. But I wonder what does the Discovery, Thank you, Ancestors Enhanced # signify? When I look at the recent changes to the 2431 people I'm tracking, I made 1,301 changes of the last 1,592 when my two sisters made 14, and 5; but they had Enhanced # higher than mine, why is that?

The scope of interest for this data is 6 generations of ancestors, in a direct line (up to 63 individuals). Your watch list is something completely separate from this generated view. Another factor is which ancestors are "preferred" in your direct-line pedigree, which could result in different ancestors being listed than those expected.

The bottom line is: the number of ancestors enhanced is how many out of those 63 individuals were edited by the listed contributors, not how many total changes they made.
