You can untick "show again" so the alert doesn't come up again but it still creates a new window for you to enter or edit parents' names, which is strange and unnecessary in my opinion. Strangely, when clicked the text field to enter their names, instead of just being able to type them straight in there, another window pops up saying "No father registered! Register father now?" Click "yes" and then another window pops up allowing you to type the names there. The lower part of the window has the option to add your parent's names. There doesn't seem to be an option for an alternate name fact. The name tab allows you to add a title, suffix, or nick name. The person tab is where you type in vital data like birth, death, and gender - and you can also enter an occupation here. The upper part of the pop up window has two tabs, one for "Person" and one for "Name". Clicking on "New" opens a pop up window where you can fill in the details of the person you wish to start your tree with - probably yourself. It is initially pretty straight forward and intuitive. You can select "Open" to open an existing gedcom, or you can click on "New" and start a new tree. When you open it, it will have a blank work space with options along the toolbar at the top. The creator of Ahnenblatt continues to update it, with the lately version 2.83 being last updated October 16, 2014. Though this software is created by a German, it is available in English (as well as many other languages too) and "Ahnentafel" is the word used even in English genealogy for a report which lists one's ancestors (the opposite of a descendant report which lists one's descendants).
The prefix "Ahnen" comes from the German word "Ahnentafel" which basically means "Ancestor chart". If you're not interested in reading my full review, scroll down the bottom where I list the pros and cons, give a conclusion summary, and a rating. I will work in alphabetical order and include lesser known software. I thought it might be beneficial if I were to review them each. Many newcomers to genealogy don't yet want to spend money on a family tree program, which is understandable, so they want to know which free software is the best.
