He wrote in the “Please let me know how you found out about Behold” box the following: I am trying to find a way to read/convert an old Gedcom 1.0 file (created by FHS). ...

What to do When Your @FamilyTreeDNA Autosomal Results Come In - Blog entry by lkessler - 10 Jan 2017
It’s always an exciting day when your DNA results come back. After analyzing my uncle’s results ad infinitum for the past six months, I finally bit the bullet and sent away for my own test. The FamilyTreeDNA Holiday Season sale with coupons for extra dollars off was quite motivating. I ordered my own test ...

Dates and Sorting - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 3 Jan 2017
There are other calendars as well, such as the Chinese or Hindu calendars. GEDCOM doesn't even address those.
What I think is most important is to make sure what people use and need the most works, and works well. Few people use other calendars in combination with Gregorian. If they do, they'll usually have a ...

Thanks, Deck. I'm trying to do whatever it takes to not prevent me from attending RootsTech. In two weeks, I'll get my Physio regime which I'll do as prescribed.

Cast and Crutches - Blog entry by lkessler - 31 Dec 2016
On Monday Dec 19, it felt like I might have sprained my ankle. It was my first squash game of the day and I planted my foot and I felt a tiny pop in my ankle. It wasn’t too bad and I tried to continue but less than a minute later I felt another pop in the ankle. Now it felt like a badly sprained ankle. I ...

Dates and Sorting - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 25 Dec 2016
Dave,
Yes, the month numbers can be reused.
