1000 Genealogy Programs on GenSoftReviews - Blog comment by lkessler - 1 Mar 2018
Tim: Wow! That blogging program looks amazing! It's not a genealogy program, though. You do such great work and I can't even figure out how you do half of it. How can we convince you to come back into the genealogy programming fold again?

Programming is like Songwriting - Blog comment by tjforsythe - 26 Feb 2018

tewilso:

Triangulation does NOT mean IBD - Blog comment by tewilso - 18 Feb 2018
I find the following GETMAtch 1-1 matching segments among known but distant American cousins (and my brother) and a potential English cousin (16 degrees between me and the English cousin for instance).
