I am thinking she will need to calculate dates giving a certain number of years for each generation. I will talk to the patrons some more and find out exactly what type of document she has - possible village books or jaipu?

Hi @JVance1 . @Maurine Nuttall provided you with the knowledge article that provides direct instructions about how Family Tree is designed to allow you to prepare names of your ancestors so that you can reserve their work. Since you specifically mentioned have many generations of Chinese ancestors, you might also be interested in the following knowledge article that is specific regarding Asian ancestors who were born prior to 1500. Keep in mind that estimated dates would still be needed to clear ordinance work. https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/can-i-request-ordinances-for-asian-individuals-born-before-1500
