Here is a collection of tools for genealogists with an interest in Almira's family history.
Ancestor List for Almira (Long) Rand
Uses the "ahnen" numbering system and presents seven generations in plain text.
Ancestor Explorer [independent app]
View or download a list of up to 20 generations of ancestors who meet a wide variety of criteria, map them, and more.
Compact Family Tree
Packed with eight generations — up to 254 ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself.
Connections
How many degrees of separation are between Almira and Henry VIII (or anyone else)? This Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder, but it's a fun way to illustrate how closely we're all connected.
Descendant List
Up to five generations of children and grandchildren of Almira along with their spouses.
DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants
Designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Almira's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Almira gets her mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Almira's X chromosome, also shown here.
The DNA Descendants page shows exactly who has inherited Almira's testable DNA.
DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid
A step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Almira's tree.

Dynamic Tree by Topola [independent app]
