The Bloggers’ Geneameme - Blog entry by lkessler - 28 Aug 2013
Jill Ball proposed another meme for genealogy bloggers for them to share the how and why they do their genealogy blogging. I enjoy a good meme. They are fun to do and interesting. I’ve done a couple of genealogy memes before: What I Do – in July 2010 proposed by Thomas MacEntee, and My Tech-Savvy ...

Countdown 15 minutes to Organization - Blog entry by lkessler - 26 Aug 2013
It happens to me every so often. The papers and things to do and things to file start piling up on my desk. I attempt every so often to organize them and they end up on the floor in piles. The piles get kicked over or thrown into the closet to be put away later. My binders of reference material need be be ...

A Recipe for GEDCOM - Blog comment by lkessler - 4 Aug 2013
Bob,
With BetterGEDCOM, I do recall discussing the copyright. In the BetterGEDCOM requirements, the copyright is listed as one of the requirement constraints. But I don't remember any formal inquiry being made about it.
Yes, you are correct. If FHISO or anyone else decides to update, rather than rewrite ...

A Recipe for GEDCOM - Blog comment by lkessler - 3 Aug 2013
Justin,
Excellent question.
Here's 4 reasons why the community doesn't think GEDCOM can be fixed:
1. The community only sees that their data does not transfer and blame it all on GEDCOM. In fact, only part of it is GEDCOM, and those parts can be fixed.
2. They see that GEDCOM has not been updated ...

A Recipe for GEDCOM - Blog comment by lkessler - 3 Aug 2013
Gene,
There's no "key" here. It's all over the board.
James Tanner may be right that compatibility has never been important to developers. But they need to realize that people are getting smarter and it's going to be more difficult to get someone to switch to their program if it is known that some things ...

A Recipe for GEDCOM - Blog entry by lkessler - 3 Aug 2013
You can hear rumblings from the GEDCOM volcano of genealogy bloggers. On August 1, James Tanner wrote Sharing Data Files or What Happened to GEDCOM? He says most genealogists are not aware there is a file compatibility issue until they are personally faced with the problem. Dear Myrtle wrote Genealogy data ...

Inventing Source-based Data Entry - Blog entry by lkessler - 29 Jul 2013
I’ve talked in the past about how I plan when I add editing, to make Behold one of the first genealogy programs to allow you to enter your sources directly, without the need to hook them up to the events that are attached to people. You’ll be able to add your conclusions from these sources at a later time. ...

Let’s See What’s Going On Around Here - Blog entry by lkessler - 19 Jul 2013
A few weeks go by with no blog post, so it’s time to update. Haven’t worked on Behold in the past few weeks. The main reason is that I was writing an 8 page “Genealogy Software Reviews” article for the Australian publisher Citrus Media who in August will be publishing Family Tree Magazine, a 100 page ...
