That's really unfortunate. It makes me question if the current board members are even serious about the project. Or are they just feeling overwhelmed and helpless at the task and unable to lead the organization forward? What about the founding sponsors? Rootsweb, Ancestry, etc? Have they lost their passion and ...

Louis, I hope you and your wife have a wonderful vacation! It is well deserved. The "teaser" of 1.1 looks great. I especially like the fact that sources are included! Deck

Very well stated. uwem. And absolutely true. Speaking of the LDS data, it's not only people uploading their "50,000 name" files with little or no source documentation.

Yes, I honestly was flabbergasted at the number of different programs! I really appreciate GensoftReviews for bringing them to my attention.

I have roughly 6 or 7 lineal feet of genealogical sources on my shelf. All in 3ring binders. A couple years ago i spend countless days ...

Brrrrr! Get into the sun, Louis! Thaw out those bones! Have a wonderful trip. But, do remember to come back and tackle those Life Events!

reading this blog, i envision a program much more usable than before. as far as being disappointed with a new style of data entry, that doesn't concern me. if it helps me manage my genealogical data in a more commonsense and rational way, i'll get used to it! sort of like how i had to learn to give up my slide ...
