Request for iOS Version of Evidentia

As I have been transitioning to a GPS-based approach to my genealogy, I am researching different approachs and tools. I really like Evidentia.

I would like to see a full iOS version which can sync with a desktop version via iCloud or DropBox.

I've just sent this comment to the makers of… Continue

Defining My Research Approach - The Beginning

As I continue to redefine my approach to genealogy and specifically the manner in which I conduct my research, document my findings, and publish my proven ancestors (if one can truly say proven), I made some fundamental decisions. But first, I want to thank the efforts of Mark Tucker at ThinkGenealogy for the simple visual diagram of the Genealogy Research Process and the combined work of Joe Martel, Ron Tanner, and Grant Skousen of FamilySearch.org for the detailed and precise Genealogy… Continue
