To Do- or Not To Genealogy Do-Over - Blog comment by lkessler - 8 Jan 2015
Bart,
You can add your "Conclusion Session" as notes on the events or people that they pertain to.
Your Source Session (finding, tracking, citing, filing sources) information should all be stored with the source that they deal with. Does your current genealogy editing program allows you to enter ...

To Do- or Not To Genealogy Do-Over - Blog comment by bartbrenner - 8 Jan 2015
Louis,
Thanks for the mention. I decided to participate in the Do-Over as a way of changing my genealogical mind-set from 'conclusion-based' to 'source-centric.' As I have continued to reflect on the overall process, my one disappointment is that Behold won't integrate word processor editing until June 2016. ...

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions - Blog comment by lkessler - 23 Dec 2014
Dave,
If a new standard to replace GEDCOM comes out, I expect programs will be written to convert GEDCOM to the new standard. Most of the incompatible versions of GEDCOM will also likely get converters to turn them into good-enough GEDCOM that the converters to the new standard will work. Then new programs ...

Genealogy Software is Transforming - Blog comment by lkessler - 28 Nov 2014

Source Driven Genealogy - Blog comment by lkessler - 25 Nov 2014
Excellent Arnold.
Of course, Behold does not yet have the editing and the source-based editing option in it. I've still not finalized it yet, but my current thinking is to have a split screen showing you the source at the top or bottom, and your conclusions at the bottom or top.
But you can see in ...

Source Driven Genealogy - Blog comment by arnold - 24 Nov 2014
I very much second your (& Theresa's) thoughts and conclusions.
Til very recently I have been using a couple of the conventional genealogy apps without too much (or at laest not enough) thought given to 'sources' etc.
In collaborating with other family members, I realized more and more that it was not ...
