Even if the life events weren't all as polished as you'd like, it would us adoring acolytes a sample to play with, get a feel for where you're heading, and possibly even result in useful feedback (probably from the many more qualified than I am). After all, it's not like we're going to follow you over a cliff with our data, it's liability-free. Of course I can see why you might not want a lot of public exposure of the Grand Idea yet - it'l have to be your call.</p> <p>Like the cat waiting by the mouse hole with baited breath . . .</p> <p>Dave </p> General Discussion http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=129#post-389 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 07:47:26 GMT brett 389@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ <p>Am I able to input an AKA under Name, to include a date and place known as that individual, and retain GEDCOM standard?</p> <p>My GEDCOM is exported as:</p> <p>1 NAME Caroline Juliette Edmonds<br /> 2 DATE 12 MAR 1891<br /> 2 PLAC Sydney, New South Wales, Australia</p> <p>however this flags as an error, Unknown record found, in vGed 3.04.</p> <p>It appears either GEDCOM 5.5.1 does not allow any details other than Name and Type or vGed 3.04 is over fussy.</p> <p>Behold does not log this an error.</p> <p>Brett </p> General Discussion http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=128#post-383 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 21:53:13 GMT brett 383@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ <p>After several years, much assistance from Behold's great GEDCOM validation, advice from Louis and support from Darrin and the User Group of The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG), I now have a GEDCOM exported file which meets 5.5.1.</p> <p>What a pleasure it was to see<br /> 'No problems to report.'<br /> in the File Information section of The Everything Report and<br /> 'Summary of all GEDCOM Messages<br /> No problems to report.'<br /> in the log file.</p> <p>Thanks all for the assistance.</p> <p>Brett </p> General Discussion http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=127#post-381 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 10:25:00 GMT brett 381@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ <p>Format members</p> <p>Occasionally you do not know a complete date, such as:</p> <p>13 (Date only known)<br /> 13 APR (Date and month only known)<br /> APR (Month only known).</p> <p>What/how do people code this in their software?</p> <p>Do they:</p> <p>Key it in the date field?</p> <p>Include it as a note?</p> <p>Some other option.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Brett </p> General Discussion http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=111#post-329 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 02:22:16 GMT ericjames 329@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ <p>Does Behold have a limit on the number of individuals in a gedcom that Behold can process? </p> General Discussion http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=76#post-257 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 22:31:38 GMT brett 257@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ <p>My country after registering for forum is China.

I've been gradually eliminating or combining them as I found them while searching through my PAF5 Program. But, PAF5 makes it difficult (time comsuming) to do this, beginning with finding them.<br><br>With BEHOLD!, Finding Duplicate Source Listings and Notes is simple. Now all I have to do is figure out how to print just the duplicates from BEHOLD! so I can fix them in PAF5.<br><br>I'm also eagerly waiting for the ability to save combined GEDCOM Files from FamilySearch.org to eliminate all those fragmented files. I don't want to alter them except to combine them into one GEDCOM file (instead of dozens for each family).<br><br>I love this program!<br><br>Max General Discussion http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=45#post-157 Wed, 22 Mar 2006 23:24:03 GMT JRichmond 157@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Louis, you really have accomplished something very impressive. I am brand new to genealogy (about 6 weeks actively pursuing a pedigree) and was immediately aware that Brother's Keeper, which I purchased after seeing someone's notebook computer screen in the state historical library, wasn't displaying any of the reams of data I was painstakingly entering. Behold does all of that, and is extremely user friendly and intuitive to boot. I didn't know what a GEDCOM file was last week; now I have a report that looks like a professional product. <br><br>Thanks for all of the hard work you've put into this project. I'm excited to see where it all ends up. <br><br>John General Discussion http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=44#post-155 Sun, 12 Mar 2006 15:31:26 GMT brknhrt 155@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ This is exactly what I have been looking for! I have never found a way of printing it in this way in any other program (and I've tried most of them). I love it and am happy to be a license owner.

It will take extra work to support Windows 98, and some future features may not be possible if I want keep Behold Windows 98 compatible.<br><br>How many of you still use Windows 98 and don't expect to upgrade or buy a new computer in the next few months?

It must take hours. I have been tracking the web site for some time and have been looking forward to trying out this concept. It's nice to see someone finally doing somthing different. Most genealogy programs all do the same thing, just in a different format.<br>I respect you for your effort and hard work in starting from "scratch".<br><br>I will write a few things down as I test it and get back to you in a week. I'll probably buy it too.

We were on a cruise to Alaska when it came out and I had to find a bookshop in Juneau (not a tourist one, either) that had the book for my son. He finished it within a week. Now it's my wife's turn and then mine. My son is being very tight-lipped about the plot.<br> General Discussion http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=28#post-93 Wed, 11 May 2005 08:52:53 GMT rwcrooks 93@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Louis,<br><br>I'm concerned about your commitment to this project. I don't understand how you could take off Mother's Day (if they have it the same day in Canada as the US) to celebrate with your family instead of slaving away at Behold. Wouldn't a couple of quick phone calls have kept everyone happy?<br><br>Seriously, I've been keeping up with your Blog and eagerly await the next release. It can't come fast enough for me. It looks like you're making some pretty good progress. Keep up the good work but be sure to take the time you need to keep the batteries charged. Behold will come along when you and it are ready.

When I first loaded my GEDCOM, I thought, "Great, another GEDCOM viewer." But now that I've taken some time to fully explore what's there, I am beginning to fully appreciate the extent to which you've gone. This is far and above anything I've ever seen.<br><br>I think that with a few tweaks here and there, you'll be all ready to go to version 1.0.
