Would You Like A Genealogy Q&A Site? - Blog comment by lkessler - 9 Sep 2012
Dave:
Thanks for your comments. The questions at Area51 are just proposed example questions, and yes you are correct, that finding other people doing similar research is not one of them listed.
Personally, in addition to the other types of questions, I wouldn't mind seeing it used the way you suggest. If ...

Would You Like A Genealogy Q&A Site? - Blog comment by trolleydave - 9 Sep 2012
Sounded like a great idea so I did get right over to the site. Made the mistake of browsing around in Area 51 and Stack Exchange, got kinda turned off. Didn't get the impression that I'm the kind of "expert" they want or welcome. I would expect to have a lot more questions than answers and I doubt that many ...

Anquestory:
I remember Everton. They had a very good magazine and did a lot for the genealogical community.
As far as the Q&A site goes, once it's up and into Beta, it will be the participants themselves who judge the quality of your questions. Your question will be upvoted if good, and downvoted if ...

I participated in a similar project that was part of Everton.com when Genealogical Helper was still being published. Fortunately, there was a "moderator" who directed queries to persons with the "proper" expertise when no volunteer came forward. That moderator was quite good at her job as more than once I was ...

Reassessing the Behold Road Map - Blog comment by lkessler - 18 Aug 2012
Thanks Brett and Deckie,
It's the display of data with the Life/Family events shown that I hope you'll like. When the data input finally comes, I'm sure that part will blow you and everyone else away. Source-based data entry on top of that should be just what's needed.
I used slide rules, too. But I was ...

Reassessing the Behold Road Map - Blog comment by deckie49 - 18 Aug 2012
reading this blog, i envision a program much more usable than before. as far as being disappointed with a new style of data entry, that doesn't concern me. if it helps me manage my genealogical data in a more commonsense and rational way, i'll get used to it! sort of like how i had to learn to give up my slide ...
