  3. Generation-wise where the choice follows the choice for generations and that will repeat itself if there is more generation than six.
  4. Branch-wise where the choice follows the choice for the branches in 4 geneations, ie. main persons grandfather and grandmother get different settings and there abcestors get the same as they.
  5. By gender where the choice follows the choice for gender.

There is also a choice for the main persons pedigree collapse and it applies to all regardless options above.
