Those of you who have worked with WikiTree will be aware of their introduction of connection counts. It was a couple of years ago when the imagineers at WikiTree came up [...]

MyHeritage’s Record Matches and Discovery Settings

One of the best reasons to have your family tree on one of the major online sites MyHeritage, Ancestry or FamilySearch, is because of their record matching systems. They will go out and find records for the individuals in your tree from among the billions of records in their collections and make them available to [...]

Using AI Bots for Programming

I’m working hard on Version 2 of Behold, and I needed to write some code to strip out HTML from a string. This would be so Behold could display the text embedded in the HTML correctly without formatting. Since I’m a Windows and Office 360 aficionado, I get a version of Microsoft’s AI bot named Copilot [...]

At 5:02am on July 18, 2009, Lois Friedman said…: Hello Louis, Thanks so much for contacting me. I only wish that there was some relationship but I don't think so,not at this time. I basically have very little info on my Segal's other than the names of my grandfather and his brothers and one sister and some of their children. I only know that my grandfather Nathan Segal's parents were Yisroel and Leah (Leibowitz) Segal. I have no information on them before this union..I only wish that I did. One day, B"H I am going to have my brother do a DNA and hopefully that might help. Good luck to all of us on our searches. Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to reply. Thanks again, Lois :-)
