Genealogics -- The Leo van de Pas Genealogical Database

Fair Enough...

Good Explanation.

What bothers me most about Leo's database are the "bare bones" aspect of it
and the clumsy, unsophisticated user interface of it.

Thanks.

Why is it the BIGGEST mistake?

OK, that's highly debatable I suppose. It's big because
making it Sinclair does give a lot of people some
fairly good royal connections that Douglas does not, if
I recall correctly from when I was doing this up.

What is undeniably true, and the reason my mind had that
fixed in it, is that using the proprietary computer tools I have developed
for
comparing my own database with Leo's, swapping those two wives
makes the biggest "change list" for my own ahnentafel of any difference
I have found.

I have many differences between mine and Leo's. Most are just
simply because I stop going back into myth on a whim, and
Leo explicitly allows myths to remain if noted. There are some
other real differences of opinion, but most generate only a
few, or at most a few dozen people on the "change list" ...
this one generates thousands.
