![]() Is it a 'plausibility check' to find input errors (e.g. What is the genealogical feature 'conflicting evidence'. TonyP ( talk) 14:31, 10 February 2022 (UTC) Reply ![]() I raised this on my blog recently at Genealogy Software. It may be obvious to a developer, or to someone that is busy updating some database, but there are many niche products out there that are used for genealogy and that are unlikely to get mentioned in these lists - partly because they simply don't fit the labels imposed by the tables. Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.149.172.165 ( talk) 14:05, 10 February 2022 (UTC) Reply I think that both this page and the one on web-based genealogy could be re-worked because neither one of them defines what 'Genealogy Software' is. I realize this part is difficult because programs may have data which won't convert. This is very important because you can't take a large family tree and reenter the data. This used to list version of GENCOM supported. I can't spell check just a note or an individuals entry and when I can't remember how to spell a word that word I have to resort to the internet. Spell checking only works on the all the entries. The program won't allow me to see a snap shop of relatives at a given year which is extremely useful when trying to place the witnesses who could be at a quaker wedding (a lits of 12 or greater), looking at a family photograph, or a given census year which might happen to have an uncle or niece listed or early census data where relationships aren't stated. When I want migration the program won't allow me to show this from the descendant view, I can only map a person and their ancestors. The program I have won't allow me to show marriages for a couple that married, divorced, and remarried. I have been doing genealogy for 30+ years. Davidfischer ( talk) 16:21, 10 December 2010 (UTC) Reply However, considering the fact that I can find very little information on the net about LFT outside of Broderbund sources, I'm not necessarily sure that they're big enough to be listed here. Apparently they used to make Family Tree Maker before selling it to, but now they make another piece of software called Lineage Family Tree (LFT). However, I was looking around for information on Broderbund genealogy software when I came to the wiki.

Why are there so few programs listed? 211.28.209.102 ( talk) 00:19, (UTC) Reply The list was cut back to those that had articles available on wiki.

Can someone please explain why ours is considered advertising, while the others aren't. The latest occurrence our updates to the comparison were undone, even though all we did was list the facts for the software exactly the way it was done for every other program. I completely understand the requirements, yet our product information (which is no different than the pages or information on any of the other products listed) continues to be un-done as advertising. Our genealogy program RootsMagic is one of the best selling genealogy programs on the market, yet every time I try to create a page or add information to this comparison page, someone comes along and kills it. My name is Bruce Buzbee, president of RootsMagic, Inc.
