This work is part of my ongoing effort to identify repeatable patterns – of research and data – and build a tool to make genealogy easier. As I research my own tree, I’m documenting not only my discoveries but the process I followed in order to make important discoveries. These are being incorporated into GEDScope, which will eventually be open to everyone to use.

I belong to a few handfuls of mailing list, message forum, and Facebook group dedicated to Genealogy. Every so often, someone discovers that a picture, story, or details from their ancestor has been copied and added to a stranger’s family tree and is very upset. Often, their reaction is to make their research private, so no one can see it.
