False Small Segment Matches at GEDmatch - Blog entry by lkessler - 2 Jul 2017
I just happened to come across a post by Patricia Greber which showed the back of her T-shirt that she made to wears at genealogy conferences. Her shirt shows her family names and GEDmatch kit number and asks: “Are we related?” Patricia obviously wants other genealogists to see this, so I checked with her ...

Back From Vacation - Blog entry by lkessler - 20 Jun 2017
I had a wonderful two week vacation with my family at Disney World in Florida. I don’t know if I’d call it relaxing, because it was non-stop go-go-go. Here’s one of the many amusing items from the Haunted Mansion for my genealogy friends: So it’s back to try again to finish version 1.3 of Behold and ...

Getting Carried Away - Blog entry by lkessler - 21 May 2017
I’ve noticed it’s been almost 2 months since my last blog post, and that’s too long. I kept delaying my posts with the hope and expectation that my next one would be announcing the release of Behold 1.3. However, the changes to Behold have been taking longer than I hoped. With Spring bringing ...

Raw Data Comparison: FamilyTreeDNA vs MyHeritage DNA - Blog entry by lkessler - 28 Mar 2017
Before I leave DNA and get back to Behold for a few weeks, I had one more set of results I wanted to report on.

My MyHeritage DNA Results Have Come In - Blog entry by lkessler - 12 Mar 2017
First off, that didn’t take very long! At RootsTech, just over one month ago, I took a DNA test at the MyHeritage booth. I didn’t have to mail it back.

Heavy Lifting: Building a New Website - Blog entry by lkessler - 11 Mar 2017
I knew it wouldn’t be easy. But I scheduled yesterday, March 10, to be the launch date for a website for my Double Match Triangulator program. The new website is here: doublematchtriangulator.com There’s a lot involved in preparing a new website, even if you’ve done a few before. To be honest, I ...

What RootsTech was Like for an Innovator Showdown Finalist - Blog comment by lkessler - 21 Feb 2017
We'll likely get to meet again Tony, somewhere, sometime. I don't go to RootsTech each year. I previously was there in 2012 and 2014. I usually need a good reason to go, and not being there for 3 years was my good reason.

What RootsTech was Like for an Innovator Showdown Finalist - Blog entry by lkessler - 12 Feb 2017
Just back from RootsTech and what a week it was! As one of the ten semi-finalists in the Innovator Showdown, and the ultimate third place winner, I had some extra special experiences that I’ll always remember. Pre Roots-Tech Even before I entered the contest, I was planning to go to this year’s ...
