Oh heavens, this post is still going! And I've only just noticed 4 years later!
I never thanked Swansonville for a very clear answer. I did follow your advice and found it easy to work around. It just took off after that. Since 2007 to date I have added several hundered to my tree. So far the Ahnentafel has managed to accomodate most of my relatives - and it really is very, very useful once you get past the hundred mark.
Thanks so much again Swansonville - 4 years late but better than never. :)

I would *personally* include both numbers. Only because my husband has seen this happen at least two or three times already in his tree, where a family member "links in" to the tree at multiple places - and it's not always the same generational level. Brothers marrying sisters would be simple enough, but when you get into one person's fitting into multiple generations...I just think it would be easier to understand what's happening if both numbers are present.

"Ahnentafel" a German word. It means "ancestor table."
This is the most concise, clear, straightforward explanation I've read of the system:
