Benchmarks - Blog comment by lkessler - 27 Mar 2014

The Lynn file is a real file with over 90,000 people in it. This size can often happen when people merge other people's research into theirs (something I don't recommend). However, you can also achieve such sizes by loading multiple GEDCOMs at once, as Behold allows (but few others do). Multiple files will play ...

Benchmarks - Blog comment by deckie49 - 26 Mar 2014

Louis, What practical benefit would be gained by increasing "fan value"? To allow enough memory for more than a half million names?? I've been doing serious genealogy for 34 years and I only come up a little shy of 5000 names.

Re-evaluating the Future of Genealogy Software - Blog comment by klemens - 22 Mar 2014

Interesting list. I agree with many points, but I think the twitter/facebook/etc connections are not top priorities. If you ever add anything like that, please make it optional. "Gamification" is kind of a trend, but I'm not too sure about it. I mean, genealogy is already a puzzle game for geeks, so all I can ...

Going Paperless and Laptopless - Blog comment by lkessler - 16 Mar 2014

I agree that a few pieces of paper are easier to scan quickly than digital documents, just as physical books are more pleasant to read than digital books. But a good digital organization system (by source) combined with a good full text search engine is hard to beat when it comes to locating lots of stuff, e.g. ...

Re-evaluating the Future of Genealogy Software - Blog comment by lkessler - 16 Mar 2014

Taco, Thank you for your detailed reply. Let me try in return. 1. If a hundred family historians came to one incorrect conclusion, it's probably because 99 of them copied it from the first. 2. I'd say less than 1% of genealogists want to "publish" as in journal type of publishing. I think the ...

Re-evaluating the Future of Genealogy Software - Blog comment by goulooze - 14 Mar 2014

I started to write one little comment, and it grew into this :) I've numbered my thoughts to correspond with yours. Here goes! 1. I think something like Wikitree or FamilySearch tree will never truly work, mainly because the subject of family history holds a lot more emotion and personal involvement for any ...

Going Paperless and Laptopless - Blog comment by deckie49 - 16 Feb 2014

I think going paperless has its advantages in certain times and places. From my perspective my home office is not one of those places. This is especially true doing genealogy. I have roughly 6 or 7 lineal feet of genealogical sources on my shelf. All in 3ring binders. A couple years ago i spend countless days ...

My Analysis of RootsTech 2014 - Blog comment by ftellesson@hotmail.com - 10 Feb 2014

I totally have to agree with you on MyHeritage - I did get to speak with Daniel Horowitz and can say, that I'm mighty impressed with the genuine push by MyHeritage to listen to their users. This can only mean one thing...they will be a force to be reckoned with and I want to be part of that good thing!!!

The RootsTech Syllabi - Blog comment by lkessler - 1 Feb 2014

Baerbel, Don't feel you have to fill out the survey. It's more of a fun thing for the presentation. I may be putting my presentation up online after the talk, but there's not a lot of substance in the slides. They'll just be background to what I'll be saying during my talk. How do you like your Windows ...
