How many sources/citations is too many? - Blog comment by lkessler - 29 Dec 2013

I agree with what you say, and you're doing a great job with GenQuiry. I don't know if I'd say we're "diametrically opposite". The design of Behold is to eventually allow source-based data entry, which few programs do. I would not say I'm as interested in the "proof" side of it as I am in the documentation ...

How many sources/citations is too many? - Blog comment by lkessler - 28 Dec 2013

Jan, So why go through all that extra work and clutter it up for yourself? It isn't necessary. What is necessary is to have every source documented so that they can be found again. Linking the source once per person is all that is necessary. It need not be linked from multiple events or numerous ...

How many sources/citations is too many? - Blog entry by lkessler - 28 Dec 2013

This was an excellent question asked at Genealogy & Family History StackExchange yesterday. I answered stating that each source should be included just once with each person it pertains to at the person level, or if it is specific to a certain event (birth, marriage, death, residence, occupation, etc.) then ...

German Umlaute - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 18 Dec 2013

There is one other possibility. It could be a bug discovered a few months ago. See: UTF-8 with BOM does not display right. If that is the problem, then until I issue the next version, you'll have to save your UTF-8 file which your listing above shows that you have a Byte Order Mark (BOM), and save it without a ...

German Umlaute - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 18 Dec 2013

From what I understand, Legacy doesn't support Unicode. According to an article on Legacy 7 by Tamura Jones: "Legacy is still a codepage-based design. Legacy does still not support Unicode, and that automatically limits its support for other characters sets. Legacy will export to and import from ANSEL and ...

Computer Chess - Blog entry by lkessler - 11 Dec 2013

Today, I enjoyed some personal nostalgia as I went to see the Indie movie: Computer Chess. This was filmed in Austin Texas and released this past summer. It came to Winnipeg this week for a 4 show installment. I went to the fourth show, attended by 16 people in a theatre that holds about 100. The movie is ...

Sessions at RootsTech 2014 - Blog entry by lkessler - 5 Dec 2013

#RootsTech - I always like to review the speakers and sessions well in advance prior to going to a Conference. As I noted in my last post, RootsTech is really making it hard by offering too many speakers and not enough time slots. Decisions will be tough, but lets see what’s of interest. Mine will be a ...

RootsTech 2014 Website Updated and App Available - Blog entry by lkessler - 1 Dec 2013

RootsTech 2014 #RootsTech is getting closer, running from Thursday February 5 to Saturday February 8. There’s an extra day on Wednesday February 4 that has been renamed from Developer Day to Innovator Summit. That’s a nice wording change. To be an “innovator” sounds much more impressive than being just ...

What Should Genealogy Software Do – Really! - Blog entry by lkessler - 28 Nov 2013

I read with interest, James Tanner’s blog post he wrote earlier today with the title: What should genealogy software do?. James refers back to Mark Tucker’s 2008 article entitled “10 Things Genealogy Software Should Do”. There’s also Michael Hait’s 2012 post titled “My vision of the perfect ...
