Can Genealogy Software Be Rated Fairly? - Blog entry by lkessler - 6 Jan 2013
As you know, I run the GenSoftReviews site that lists all genealogy software available and allows people to review and rate the programs. The ratings are from 1 to 5 stars. 1 is worst. 5 is best. They are subjective ratings, up to the user. For the past 4 years, at the end of the year, I have listed all ...

An End of Year Evaluation - Blog entry by lkessler - 23 Dec 2012
I’m not happy. It is unfortunate, but I feel I’ve dropped the ball this year with Behold, and let both users and myself down. It started off great, with Version 1.04 released in January after a flurry of activity that followed the 1.0 release just a couple of months earlier. For the next few months, I was ...

Consistency Checking - Blog comment by lkessler - 8 Nov 2012
Sue:
Yes. That's the goal.
I'll have an initial (and hopefully close to comprehensive) set of checks with some based on age criteria that will be user-settable. When I add editing to Behold, I'll be including a way to easily override a reported problem for a specific individual and mark it as "confirmed". ...

Consistency Checking - Blog entry by lkessler - 7 Nov 2012
The current release that I am working hard to get out will include two new major features: 1. Life Events, and 2. Consistency Checking. Consistency checking was one of the important things missing from Behold. I felt it was very necessary to have it prior to going further. Today’s article by Tamura Jones: ...

Importing Two Ged Files - Forum post by lkessler in Feature Suggestions - 29 Oct 2012
Thanks Dave for the review of GenP - which I actually haven't tried myself. Unlike GenP, Behold maintains the two-way relationships. When one way is created, the other is as well (and Behold will identify one-ways in the GEDCOM that should be two-ways).
