I had a wonderful two week vacation with my family at Disney World in Florida. I don’t know if I’d call it relaxing, because it was non-stop go-go-go. Here’s one of the many amusing items from the Haunted Mansion for my genealogy friends: So it’s back to try again to finish version 1.3 of Behold and ...

I’ve noticed it’s been almost 2 months since my last blog post, and that’s too long. I kept delaying my posts with the hope and expectation that my next one would be announcing the release of Behold 1.3.  However, the changes to Behold have been taking longer than I hoped. With Spring bringing ...

Before I leave DNA and get back to Behold for a few weeks, I had one more set of results I wanted to report on. A couple of weeks ago, I compared my MyHeritage DNA ethnicity results to my FamilyTreeDNA results, and also compared my match results. There was one other comparison I had wanted to do. It’s to ...

What a few months! Finished up RootsTech and left with 3rd place in the Innovator Showdown. Took a much needed one-week vacation with my wife. Finally got out of my boot and started driving again. And I finished DMT’s new website at www.doublematchtriangulator.com and last week released version 1.5 of DMT. ...

First off, that didn’t take very long! At RootsTech, just over one month ago, I took a DNA test at the MyHeritage booth. I didn’t have to mail it back. Instead the MyHeritage people delivered all the samples they collected at RootsTech directly to the lab in Texas. A couple of weeks before RootsTech, I was ...

I knew it wouldn’t be easy. But I scheduled yesterday, March 10, to be the launch date for a website for my Double Match Triangulator program. The new website is here:  doublematchtriangulator.com There’s a lot involved in preparing a new website, even if you’ve done a few before. To be honest, I ...

Just back from RootsTech and what a week it was! As one of the ten semi-finalists in the Innovator Showdown, and the ultimate third place winner, I had some extra special experiences that I’ll always remember.   Pre Roots-Tech Even before I entered the contest, I was planning to go to this year’s ...

Several others have already written about the items and the Tech that they’re taking to #RootsTech. Nichole Dyer wrote about 8 Tech Tools to Bring to RootsTech. Alona Tester gives a big list of her general stuff and techy stuff in RootsTech 2017 – Counting Down. Christine Woodcock gave her list in ...

Roberta Estes did the first analysis of this and asked someone to do the same thing for an endogamous population. I had that data and I felt I wanted to know as well. I did a blog post about it a few days ago that I titled Double Match Phasing for an Endogamous Population, but using the term “Double Match ...

I finalized my schedule for RootsTech about a week ago (have you finalized yours yet?) of what I plan to do. I’ve put it on my online RootsTech App as well as on OneNote on my Phone in case the wifi at the Conference is spotty. If you want to track me down, this is where I’ll be: Monday, Feb ...
