Another attempt with Genome Mate Pro - Blog entry by lkessler - 9 Jun 2018
Genome Mate Pro (GMP) is a program written by Rebecca Walker and is designed to organize all your DNA matches and match information. This is not a simple program to use, but it supposedly does a lot for you. I have DNA tested now at FamilyTreeDNA (autosomal, BigY-500, mt-full), 23andMe, MyHeritage DNA and ...

Advancing the GEDCOM Standard - Blog entry by lkessler - 26 May 2018

So the fallback is still ...

Revisiting Speed and Balding - Blog comment by barryrsmith - 11 Apr 2018
The lack of information is possible, but I think unlikely. I have complete information back 5 generations, except for three ancestors who are all in Switzerland, and none of the three matches I am thinking of have anyone near Switzerland.

Some Rogue Program on GenSoftReviews - Blog entry by lkessler - 1 Apr 2018
I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but a genealogy program named FindMyFamilyHeritageAncestryPastSearch.com appeared on GenSoftReviews this morning: I’ve never heard of this program before. Have you? The program even had two reviews, one good one, and one not so good one. Overall, the two ratings ...
