Access Violation Error -- Won't Load GEDCOM Data - Forum post by jimmy in Report a Problem - 12 Jul 2023

Hi Louis, Thank you for your assistance in diagnosing my GEDCOM file issues. Unfortunately, my GEDCOM is a large file (113 MB), coming from my ancestry tree currently with 74,739 people and 187,525 attached records, so I cannot attach it to an e-mail. I do not normally send or receive such large files, so I am ...

Behold Future Plans: No Editing - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 12 Jul 2023

Klemens, To finally respond to your thoughtful comment (wow - can't believe I missed it for this long), I too am disappointed that there is no genealogical word-processor-like editor that can edit people-based or source-based. I would have bought it and started using it as well. When I started using MyHeritage ...

Access Violation Error -- Won't Load GEDCOM Data - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 12 Jul 2023

Hi Jimmy, I just now tried downloading my GEDCOM from Ancestry and the current version of Behold 1.2.7 loads it without problem. So there must be something in your newer Ancestry data that gets into your GEDCOM that is causing the problem. Would you be willing to email me your GEDCOM and I'll see if the ...

Access Violation Error -- Won't Load GEDCOM Data - Forum post by jimmy in Report a Problem - 12 Jul 2023

Today (19 July 2023) I purchased Behold! (version 1.2.7, 02 Sep 2021), downloaded my current GEDCOM from Ancestry.com, and tried running Behold! to view the data. Instead I received the error: "Access violation at address 0000000000E3EDCF in module 'Behold.exe'. Write of address 00000000005F30C0. There were ...

The End of GenSoftReviews - Blog entry by lkessler - 20 Jun 2023

Everything has its time. And the time for GenSoftReviews is up. GenSoftReviews is a site that was at www.gensoftreviews.com that I ran from 2008 until today, to allow users to come and review their genealogy software. They could rate the software from 1 to 5 stars and leave a textual review with a suggestion ...

Ancestral Loops - Blog comment by jandrea - 13 Jun 2023

Stopping when recursion has returned to somebody who has already been visited. Without creating the extra structure to hold the white/grey data. Its quite fast when testing 100k individuals. Of course its possible when getting into a loop from the side, perhaps a cousin who's grandfather is in the loop. I ...

Ancestral Loops - Blog comment by lkessler - 8 Jun 2023

jandrea: Well it is a recursive procedure. The problem is that if you have loops, then the recursive procedure is infinite. So you have to figure out how to stop. The normal stopping method in a recursive procedure is to mark a node (person) as "visited" once they've been checked so that you don't process them ...

Ancestral Loops - Blog comment by jandrea - 8 Jun 2023

I realize this is an old topic but I've only recently started worrying about loop detection in my own tools. Could you describe what sort of loops are not being caught by a recursive path ? I check separately for spouse of self and sibling of self. thanks

Scanning 4 Binders of Emails - Blog entry by lkessler - 19 Mar 2023

Part of the work of genealogists in this digital age is to scan their old physical material. I’ve got many boxes in the closet and basement as well as binders in my shelves that still need to be gone through and digitized. You can only do this one piece at a time, so it’s a manner of picking a project and ...

Building a Base Pair to Centimorgan Map - Blog comment by gadgetsurplus - 18 Mar 2023

As always, nice writeup and approach. I have 10+ 23andMe accounts that could be used to finish your analysis (if we can reach an agreement on privacy and such :)
