Using Behold as a Data Viewer for a WikiTree GEDCOM - Blog entry by lkessler - 13 Apr 2021
It’s been a while since I’ve put my full effort into getting Behold to that next level that would include GEDCOM export and editing. In fact, I have to admit that I really haven’t made a lot of changes to Behold except for bug fixes and a 64-bit executable since 2017. What I did start doing in February ...

My Highlights at RootsTech Connect 2021 - Blog entry by lkessler - 27 Feb 2021
Like hundreds of thousands of you, I had been looking forward to this year’s version of #RootsTech2021, which is completely online and free to everyone. I have attended RootsTech in Salt Lake City three times in person, in 2012, 2014 and 2017. I couldn’t go from 2018 to 2020, but those years ...

Using a GEDCOM file to add to FamilySearch - Blog comment by lkessler - 25 Feb 2021
Hi Uwe,
I'm putting my information, which I trust, up on FamilySearch, for others to access and possibly connect to.
I always evaluate any information I get from FamilySearch (or from anyone else's genealogy for that matter) before adding it to my family tree.

Double Match Triangulator 4.0 - Blog entry by lkessler - 23 Feb 2021
Yesterday, I released new version of Double Match Triangulator. This took longer than I hoped, but finally it’s out. In late November, GEDmatch changed the format of their segment match file and also made a change to their one-to-one report, so DMT needed to be updated to handle those. Also in May ...

GEDCOM Should NOT Allow Extensions - Blog entry by lkessler - 18 Jan 2021
The GEDCOM standard for transferring genealogical data has been in use basically unchanged for over 20 years now. Just about every genealogy software program can export (some of) its family data to a GEDCOM file, and can import (some of) the family data in a GEDCOM file into its database. The issue is the ...
