A New Notation for DNA Relationships?? - Blog comment by robhoare - 19 Dec 2015

Excellent idea, Louis. Lots of information in a very concise and clear format. I think it would be useful to know there's a most recent common ancestor in the path, and where. How many generations back to the MRCA is important (I think also there would be subtle differences in the probabilities of ...

What Ancestry’s “Retirement” of FTM Really Means - Blog comment by jim stewart - 12 Dec 2015

"I’m looking forward to the next few years" Me too. FTM will not go away on 12/31/2016. It will continue to work, probably w/o synching which we may learn to do manually. FTM is just an companion to my Bixby-Stewart family tree. My workflow is primarily online at ancestry.com, and synch with FTP for ...

Windows 10 At Last - Blog comment by deckie49 - 23 Nov 2015

I am not at all impressed with Win 10, how it looks or how it operates. My vote would be for the classic look. It's comfortable and much easier on the eyes. Newer is not always better.

Re-evaluating Everything - Blog comment by lkessler - 26 Aug 2015

Thanks for that, Geoffn. I am working very hard on Version 1.1.1, which I will release as soon as possible (weeks, not months). The feedback I've been getting from everybody has been excellent and I'm very excited about what I've changed already and I'm sure everyone will be very happy the improvements. I ...

Re-evaluating Everything - Blog comment by geoffn - 25 Aug 2015

Keep it simple. Seems to me that too much secondary information is included which is better accessed from the links. One of the problems I have is when showing the Everything report to my relatives etc. It is too confusing for them to take in immediately. Although when editing is available it can be tailored ...

Behold Version 1.1 - Blog comment by lkessler - 12 Aug 2015

I'm now playing around with better representations. The solution to putting the date first might be to also have the event and the person on the same line, e.g.: Age 30, married 2y (wife first name, age 28), Wed 5 June 1940 in France. Birth of Son 1: (Name) (ID) or possibly (which do you like better, ...

Re-evaluating Everything - Blog comment by lkessler - 11 Aug 2015

There already is an option to toggle this: the heart button on the toolbar (or from the menu select View -> Life Events). But that doesn't alleviate the problem that it's still too complicated. Basically I tried to do way too much (merge all events into a single timeline) which took way too long and made ...

Re-evaluating Everything - Blog comment by deckie49 - 11 Aug 2015

A work in progress... In general, I like version 1.1. It shows me much more information on a person than version 1.0.5.2. However, there is so much information that it feels overwhelming, and distracting. Showing spouse and date of marriage is nice, and perhaps listing birth and death events of the children. ...

Why are there so many genealogy programs? - Blog comment by lkessler - 30 Jul 2015

Keith, Don't just take it from me. See what the 440 reviews of Family Tree Maker that average just 1.65 out of 5 stars have to say: http://www.gensoftreviews.com/?p=114 Louis

Why are there so many genealogy programs? - Blog comment by geneatech - 30 Jul 2015

I'd love to hear more about Family Tree Maker's terrible technical characteristics. I've used it for several years, and although its performance has improved with each iteration, it still seems to have issues.
