What's New

In Celsius, comparing Winnipeg with Thompson MB, Churchill MB and the South Pole, to make me feel warmer.

 


A New Day For Genealogy

Behold - A New Day for Genealogy

BEHOLD - A New Concept for Genealogy - A New Era for Genealogists

GEDCOM File Finder

Double Match Triangulator - Forging New Frontiers in DNA Analysis
is a program I started in 2016 to help analyze Autosomal DNA matches.
The program placed 3rd in the RootsTech 2017 Innovator Showdown.

 


Genealogy Software

For 11 years, I had my Genealogy Software Links page as a resource for genealogists (over 400,000 hits). In 2008, I replaced it with a site www.gensoftreviews.com that allowed people to review and rate all the software packages. It gave me ideas about what's best for Behold. Over 15 years, the site received over 6,000 reviews. I took the site down in 2023.


Discussion

I tweet a little. Mostly about genealogy, programming Behold, and a bit about chess and other stuff.

I've put up a my 6,001 tweets covering 8 years from Feb 10, 2011 to Dec 14, 2018, for reference by anyone interested. The new download format is not easily editable for display, so there may not be updates to this.
 

I've been on Facebook since 2016, where I participate in a number of different Facebook groups, mostly for genealogy.

These are my Facebook posts and my Facebook comments between Feb 23, 2016 and Dec 30, 2020.
