Revisiting Missing A-B Matches - Blog entry by lkessler - 18 Jan 2018

Sort of a Date - Blog comment by lkessler - 13 Jan 2018

I checked my code in Behold, and it is implemented correctly. I just errored in this blog post.

I recently got back from my 4th genealogy conference of the year. In February, I was at RootsTech in Salt Lake City, July at ...

FTDNA’s 13th IGG Conference Lab Tour - Blog entry by lkessler - 13 Nov 2017
