  • Migration Toolkit for Careful Potential Migrants
    A Migration Toolkit for careful potential migrants Barbara Levergood 9 September 2017 The ROOTS Users Group of Arlington, VA The Migration Toolkit is available at The ROOTS Users Group of Arlington, VA http://www.rootsusers.org/ It is not important for you to have it for purposes of this presentation. The Problem The following is equally true of Family Historian and Legacy software: “RootsMagic provides a direct TMG import which provides much better results than using a GEDCOM transfer. Still, it is not possible to get a perfect one-to-one transfer because of the vastly different data models, template languages, etc. used by both TMG and RootsMagic. You will need to expect to do some cleanup when moving your data from TMG to RootsMagic (or any other program) […].” Moving Data from TMG to RootsMagic, http:// files.rootsmagic.com/TMGDoc.pdf The Questions o How good is the (direct) import to the new software? o What kind of clean up is needed in TMG or in the new software? o What resources are available to help me find out? Each careful migrant will want to investigate the answers for him/herself. Nobody said this was going to be easy. 2 The Goal Introduce the Migration Toolkit* and how to use it. The Migration Toolkit includes: • List of resources (Word document) • Migration Dummy (TMG project as a backup .sqz file) • Spreadsheet for Documenting your Findings and Next Steps (Excel) It is about the process! * Some resources useful in the testing and evaluation of candidate genealogical software and in the preparation for migration.

  • Jewish Review Column, Computer Software for Your Family
    Computer software for your family history Part 1: Selecting Genealogical Software Dr. Ronald D. Doctor 2 June 2010 Many of you have been reading these genealogy columns for more than a year. Hopefully, you have accumulated a good amount of information about your family. Now, what do you do with all of it? This month, I’ll introduce you to genealogy programs for your computer and for online use. I’ll focus on full-featured programs. Full-featured genealogy programs provide a central place for all your data and notes. A good program helps you organize and display your data in various ways, record your sources, produce a variety of reports, charts and trees, and provide suggestions for additional research. Most top- line programs will help you create a family history website so that you don’t have to learn html coding. All of the major programs have trial versions; you can try before you buy. Some software is free, but even good commercial software is relatively inexpensive. Many programs link to printing services that print large family trees on oversized paper, for a fee. Some software is exclusively for use in an online environment (“cloud computing”). You create your family tree online, or upload your data to a commercial website. Putting your tree online opens the possibility that unknown cousins will find it and connect with you. I’ll discuss the pros and cons of online family trees in a future column. There are more than 200 full-featured programs available, but only a few are for sale locally.

    Slægtsforsknings Systemer 21-01-2019 Agenda De forskellige system til Slægtsforskning Online systemer– Lokale programmer – Programmer – Online Programmer Online systemer Systemkrav - Er det på dansk - Hvad koster det Programmer Systemkrav - Er det på dansk - Hvad koster det Gennemgang udvalgte systemer Myheritage – Ancestry – FamilySearch.org, Danish Family Search - Legacy 9 (Interface til Android, iPhone og iPad9) Brother’s Keeper 7 MacFamily Tree 8 (MAC, iPhone og iPad) Programmer til slægtsforskning Hvad skal jeg vælge? Der findes et utal af programmer til brug for slægtsforskere. Denne oversigt skal opfattes som en hjælp til at finde sig til rette i denne jungle. Flytte data fra et program til et andet Alle programmerne på denne side behersker GEDCOM eksport og import. Det betyder, at man kan flytte sine data fra et program til et andet. Det er væsentligt, hvis du allerede har en masse data, du gerne vil have flyttet over i det nye program, du vælger (import). På samme måde, er det væsentligt, at du senere kan vælge om, så du ikke er 'stavnsbundet' til et program, men kan foretage en eksport af dine data til andre programmer - eller til andre slægtsforskere, der bruger et andet program end dig. Vær dog opmærksom på, at selv om et program understøtter den nyeste GEDCOM version (5.5), er det ikke sikkert, at alle data bliver overført 100% korrekt, da bl.a. referencer til begivenheder og kilder ofte implementeres forskelligt. Dette skyldes, at GEDCOM 5.5 har mange udefinerede områder, der ofte tolkes forskelligt i de forskellige programmer. Så forvent en vis mængde arbejde, hvis du vælger at skifte program.
