"An Unusual Genealogy Site
Tamura Jones of Leyden, Netherlands, has created an unusual website where he expresses his views on the genealogy scene. He may develop a reputation as the "Genealogy Grouch" because most of his commentaries are critical of various aspects of genealogy. Based on the few I read, I agree with him. Example: "Genealogy without documentation is mythology." Some of his comments cause you to think. "Birth and death are the only two vital events. Marriage isn't a vital event. Marriage is a social and legal event." ... Jones gives awards for the best and worst genealogy products. My Heritage Family Tree Builder has the dubious distinction of being awarded the Worst Genealogy Product for two years in a row, not so much for the product itself but for what he considers the deceptive practices of the creator, MyHeritage.com. Jones states "the applications continue their evil ways, installing stuff without telling or asking you, tracking your usage of the application and continually trying to trick you into uploading your data."
There are a number of valuable articles such as:
Twelve Ordinary Must-Have Genealogy Software Features
Genealogical Adware
Illegitimacy Does Not Cause Non-Paternity Event
