the report does not make clear when it switches from one family line to another

One of the reasons why I use the format of UserID which I do is so that I can tell at a glance which family line I am looking at and how far along the line from me. My UserIDs comprise a prefix of letter and number together with the RIN, the letter indicating one of my four grandparents and the number indicating the generation.

Admittedly, once you go back further than grandparents there are a lot more than 4 lines involved, but grandparents are well within "personal knowledge" for most people so it is sufficient to know that so-and-so was related on Grandpa A's or Grandma B's side or whatever.
