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.

GEDScope is a project, inspired by the idea of using a microscope to examine fine details otherwise obscured to the naked eye, whose goal is to provide a modern toolkit for new and seasoned Genealogists. This will allow researches to better identify patterns within their genealogical data.
