Genealogy Facts...
According to the Julian calendar, March 25th was the first day of the year and each year was 365 days and 6 hours long. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII determined that the Julian calendar was incorrect: each day was just a little bit too long. This meant that the human calendar wasn't keeping up with nature's calendar, and the seasons kept arriving slightly earlier in the year. more »

AGES-online Unveils Innovative Approach to Source and Citation Management
LENEXA, KANSAS (May 19, 2008) AGES-online unveils exceptional Source and Citation screens. With new and improved, easy-to-follow templates, a user can quickly add repositories, sources and citations independently or all on one screen.
The new screens are much more convenient to use and easier to navigate than other program in the market. There is now a new Master Source Repository List to complement the existing Master Source List, both of which are located in the Edit menu. The researcher can add a new Source Repository or select an existing one on the Master Source screen. Likewise, you can add or select Sources and Repositories on the citation screens.
"This was a very extensive project," said Ken Aubuchon, Chief Executive Officer. "We spent many hours researching various citation styles keeping one thing in mind, the intent behind citing our findings: providing the right information so others can find the source later and judge your conclusions."
The entire concept of providing templates for sources and citations really sets AGES-online ahead of other genealogy programs. Now the user just enters the data, leaving the formatting to the software.
"We believe that the next step for sources and citations is to build a consortium to create the true standard by which all genealogists will follow," said Ken Aubuchon. "Many genealogists believe that the book, 'Evidence Explained', by Elizabeth Shown Mills is the standard, but that’s not really the case. As she indicates in her book there are numerous citation styles used in various fields, although none meet the needs of genealogical researchers working with original historical documents. Her intent was to provide ‘models’ for citing different types of sources as well as to provide a guideline to evaluate the merit of various sources in relationship to the conclusions."
