Behold Future Plans: No Editing - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 12 Jul 2023
Klemens,
To finally respond to your thoughtful comment (wow - can't believe I missed it for this long), I too am disappointed that there is no genealogical word-processor-like editor that can edit people-based or source-based. I would have bought it and started using it as well.
When I started using MyHeritage ...

Access Violation Error -- Won't Load GEDCOM Data - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 12 Jul 2023
Hi Jimmy,
I just now tried downloading my GEDCOM from Ancestry and the current version of Behold 1.2.7 loads it without problem. So there must be something in your newer Ancestry data that gets into your GEDCOM that is causing the problem.
Would you be willing to email me your GEDCOM and I'll see if the ...

Today (19 July 2023) I purchased Behold! (version 1.2.7, 02 Sep 2021), downloaded my current GEDCOM from Ancestry.com, and tried running Behold! to view the data. Instead I received the error:

The End of GenSoftReviews - Blog entry by lkessler - 20 Jun 2023

GenSoftReviews is a site that was at www.gensoftreviews.com that I ran from 2008 until today, to allow users to come and review their genealogy software. They could rate the software from 1 to 5 stars and leave a textual review with a suggestion ...

Ancestral Loops - Blog comment by jandrea - 13 Jun 2023
Stopping when recursion has returned to somebody who has already been visited. Without creating the extra structure to hold the white/grey data. Its quite fast when testing 100k individuals. Of course its possible when getting into a loop from the side, perhaps a cousin who's grandfather is in the loop. I ...

Ancestral Loops - Blog comment by lkessler - 8 Jun 2023
jandrea: Well it is a recursive procedure. The problem is that if you have loops, then the recursive procedure is infinite. So you have to figure out how to stop. The normal stopping method in a recursive procedure is to mark a node (person) as "visited" once they've been checked so that you don't process them ...

Ancestral Loops - Blog comment by jandrea - 8 Jun 2023
I realize this is an old topic but I've only recently started worrying about loop detection in my own tools.
Could you describe what sort of loops are not being caught by a recursive path ?
I check separately for spouse of self and sibling of self.
thanks

Scanning 4 Binders of Emails - Blog entry by lkessler - 19 Mar 2023
Part of the work of genealogists in this digital age is to scan their old physical material. I’ve got many boxes in the closet and basement as well as binders in my shelves that still need to be gone through and digitized. You can only do this one piece at a time, so it’s a manner of picking a project and ...

Building a Base Pair to Centimorgan Map - Blog comment by gadgetsurplus - 18 Mar 2023
As always, nice writeup and approach. I have 10+ 23andMe accounts that could be used to finish your analysis (if we can reach an agreement on privacy and such :)
