Ages are Weird - Blog entry by lkessler - 1 Apr 2012
My implementation of determining a person’s age at an event (see my blog post: Getting Ages Right) has led me to the conclusion that ages are weird. Normal mathematics does not work on ages, and they can lead you to the wrong conclusion. For example, let’s say your grandfather died in 1980 and you know he ...

Unlock The Past Genealogy Cruise: February 2013 - Blog comment by lkessler - 20 Mar 2012
Jill:
We haven't started researching Sydney at all yet, with it being so far in the future, but I'm sure we'll be wanting some ideas. My wife and I will especially be interested in shows and special events, and if we could see something at the Opera House, that would be fantastic.

Probate - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 19 Mar 2012
cp:
Thanks for telling me of this. No, I didn't even think of probate when I put the "events after death" together.
I'll make that change and it will be in the next version of Behold.

NAME identifier and date orplace - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 17 Mar 2012
Brett:
Comparing the logs you sent me from VGedX and GED-inline tells me that GED-inline gives better messages.
VGedX said: "Unknown record found" which doesn't tell you much, but GED-inline tells you "Tag DATE is not allowed under NAME" and "Tag PLAC is not allowed under name".
GED-inline is correct. DATEs ...

5.5.1 compliant GEDCOM file - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 11 Mar 2012
Brett:
Good catch. Behold was not reporting extra spaces between date parts. Next version will.
Comparing the GED-inline and VGedX reports you sent me, I see that GED-inline reports all 7 problems that VGedX does but with better messages, and then finds 17 more problems, most of which are CONT tags where they ...
