After further investigation centering around some puzzling remarks made a long time ago by relatives now gone, we came to the conclusion that the (blue) family on the left could be from a different father. In 1909, my feisty 19-year old Scottish grandmother Connie had just gotten off the boat, alone and unsupervised on a new continent. What could go wrong? Well, she met a mystery man and had her first daughter Ruby. Later, she met & married my grandfather Alfred, who impersonated Ruby's birth father.</div>

If your CSV match file is not identified by Charting Companion, or if you have built your own custom match file, you can get Charting Companion to recognize it by labeling it as a "User-defined" file, and telling CC where the columns are located. CC needs only three columns: Kit No. 1, Kit No. 2, and the total match length in cM (<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://is-tracking-link-api-prod.appspot.com/api/v1/click/6176947640991744/5113373480976384&source=gmail&ust=1587859150387000&usg=AFQjCNF1S0zQmyjpHVg_4CIJoz0fGlSr1w" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimorgan" style="color: #2baadf; line-height: 1.6; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">centiMorgans</a>).</div>

In the example above, the second row (highlighted in blue) contains the original column headers that were in the file. The first row (yellow) are the standard CC column headers assigned by the user: Kit 1, Kit 2, Chromosome number, start, end and length. All other columns are ignored.</div>

To assign column headers to your own CSV match file, simply click on the "View" button in the DNA Matrix tab of the options dialog.

The added persons represent potential extramarital relationships, previous unknown marriages, unknown children, children given up to adoption, non-paternal events, etc. They are meant to suggest possible connections that would otherwise be very time-consuming to evaluate manually.The DNA Simulation is available in Charting Companion 7.

<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The corporate employee whose employer uses OSS, and will gladly pay him/her a salary to contribute and enhance the software. Particularly to implement features required by the company. Ex: Red Hat; Linus Torvalds/TransMeta.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The consultant who gives away free software, but charges for consulting and customization (WiX), or an enhanced "professional" version.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The employee of a non-profit organization that receives donations (Electronic Frontier Foundation, Apache Foundation), or an academic paid by a university.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The hobbyist who toils at a boring day job, but who likes to tinker evenings and week-ends.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Government software funded by taxpayers (NIST; USGS).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">A programmer or organization funded by KickStarter or Patreon.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The point is, everybody needs to earn a living one way or another. There is no free lunch™.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are certain types of software that lend themselves well to an OSS project: programs that are universal and used by many people:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Operating Systems: Linux, FreeBSD.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Web browsers: FireFox.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Web servers: Apache.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Software development tools: GNU, GCC, Eclipse.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Common applications: Open Office word processing + spreadsheet; Gimp and InkScape graphics; TeX document formatting; Thunderbird email.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Emulators: Wine.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Genealogy: Gramps. (Very few people use it, consumers would rather pay for something simple to install and use).</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Applications that are less "fun", on the other hand, do not attract volunteers. I once saw a disparaging comment in a forum attempting to create an open-source accounting package, "who would want to work on that boring stuff?".</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Not everything is amenable to OSS. There are many applications where, if one were to publish code as OSS, the only people taking notice would be competitors who would steal the code, incorporate it into their rival apps, and never contribute anything in return.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One of the innovations Progeny has introduced
to genealogy is the <a href="http://progenygenealogy.com/products/family-tree-charts/trellis.aspx" target="_blank">Trellis chart</a><span id="goog_2120623351"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_2120623352"></span>, "the
chart with everyone in it".

<img alt="trellis_bart.png" height="234" shrinktofit="true" src="https://d1yoaun8syyxxt.cloudfront.net/ef963-lhaombrgdcsfwfwrubknovqooycrnqkd-v2" style="float: right;" title="trellis_bart.png" width="404" />The Trellis
chart is a brand new way to tell the story of your family. It shows everyone in
your family, in a way that no traditional box chart can do.
<br clear="none" />
<br clear="none" />
Based on research by a group of scientists, the
Trellis is a diagonally-filled matrix, where rows are individuals and columns
are nuclear families. <a href="http://progenygenealogy.com/products/family-tree-charts/trellis.aspx" target="_blank">Click here</a><span id="goog_2120623361"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_2120623362"></span> for more
information.
<br clear="none" />
<br clear="none" />
The Trellis allows for interactive
investigation of your family tree. With one click, you can highlight all the
ancestors and descendants of an individual. Click a second person and you can
see where their pedigrees intersect in a colorful display. Collapse the tree
for a condensed view. Navigate up and down the tree with a simple click.

<br />
<a href="http://museodelcognome.it/en/my-ancestry-comic-book" target="_blank">Il Museo del Cognome</a> (the Museum of Family Names) can translate your family history into a vibrant and inspiring comic book. The Museo describes it best: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
How many times have you tried to imagine your ancestors faces, habits and the places where they were born? ...the way of living of your forebears, their emotional bond with the homeland and the people with whom they surrounded themselves.<br />
<br />
Have you ever walked through the narrow alleys, visited the churches where they went to pray, seen a rusty sign of an old small shop, rummaged in the cardboard box looking for photographs, letters, family memories? These are the things that bring your roots back to life.</blockquote>

Send the <a href="mailto:museodelcognome@gmail.com" target="_blank">Museo</a> a description of some important family events, with photos if you have them, and the Museo will turn your narrative into an exciting comic-book strip that you can share with your family. Imagine the delight in the children's eyes as their ancestry comes alive in a familiar and appealing format. <br />

The stories can be published in English as well as Italian and other languages.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Genelines</b> features a suite of seven different
timeline chart formats, consisting of two BIOGRAPHICAL and five RELATIONSHIP
charts.
<br />
<br />
Each of these seven charts can be customized according to: timeline,
historical events, personal or family events, colors and fonts.
<br />
<br />
Unique in presentation, the <a href="http://progenygenealogy.com/products/timeline-charts/genelines-sample-charts/individual-biographical.aspx" target="_blank">Individual</a> and <a href="http://progenygenealogy.com/products/timeline-charts/genelines-sample-charts/comparative.aspx" target="_blank">Comparative</a> Biographical Charts allow you to include such
events as career path, relationships, place of residence, etc., and compare
these life experiences with those of other relatives in your database.
<br />
<br />
You can even add <a href="http://progenygenealogy.com/products/timeline-charts/genelines-sample-charts/family-group.aspx" target="_blank">historical events</a> that were happening at different times
during their lives to see how such events may have impacted the decisions they
made and the directions they went.
<br />
<br />
The Relationship charts let you view your family <a href="http://progenygenealogy.com/products/timeline-charts/genelines-sample-charts/pedigree.aspx" target="_blank">pedigrees</a> and lines of <a href="http://progenygenealogy.com/products/timeline-charts/genelines-sample-charts/full-descendant.aspx" target="_blank">descent</a> against a backdrop of historical events on the
local, regional or world stage.
<br />
<br />
You can customize charts according to people, line of descent or <a href="http://progenygenealogy.com/products/timeline-charts/genelines-sample-charts/family-group.aspx" target="_blank">family group</a>, personal life details, color, and the
history you wish to depict.
<br />
<br />
The relationship charts can explain a great deal about your family and how
they lived and even allow you to add people who are not necessarily
related.</span>

<span size="2" style="font-size: 12pt;">Charting Companion can now
display a Descendant chart in "Bottom-up" mode, with the Subject at the
bottom, and the descendants above, like a <span size="2" style="font-size: 12pt;">growing </span>tree with its branches rising upwards.

They want to optimize my SEO, improve my Website, increase traffic, yadda yadda. They can be very persistent, calling repeatedly. One outfit (EZ Marketing) impersonated phone numbers so I would not recognize them on call display.<br />
<br />
Their proposition is simple: I give them my credit card number, they siphon $500 to $1,000 from my account every month, and in return they'll assign some low-level grunt to learn my business in fifteen minutes, stuff my <meta> tags with keywords they've gleaned, and write generic link bait pages.<br />
<br />
The problem is that there is no way of measuring the cost effectiveness of their efforts. It doesn't make sense to spend more money on advertising, than what revenue it generates.<br />
<br />
If my sales increase, tadaa! they're successful. If not, too bad so sad, looks like we'll have to do more of the same and thank you for the cash flow.<br />
<br />
I have a counter-proposition. I will assign the consultant an Affiliate Code from my e-commerce system. The Affiliate Code will be embedded in the material they create. If their pages generate sales, they will get credit, and a commission. Ditto email.<br />
<br />
That usually takes them aback. What? No compensation without performance? We have to measure our results? Heresy!<br />
<br />
Like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_of_Sinope" target="_blank">Diogenes</a>, I'm still looking for an honest firm.<b> </b><br />
<hr />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_oil" target="_blank"><b>Snake oil</b></a>, originally a fraudulent liniment without snake
extract, has come to refer to any product with questionable or
unverifiable quality or benefit.

<br />
The newsletters often contain notice of new releases, discounts, etc. stuff that you would think everyone is interested in.<br />
<br />
We understand if someone wants to unsubscribe; we readily comply with their request, and never send them email again. Unfortunately, some people's idea of "unsubscribing" is to click on the prominently displayed "Spam" button in many popular email services. This generates a complaint to our own email service. Too many complaints jeopardizes us.<br />
<br />
Having spoken with a few customers who "complained" by clicking on the Spam button, it is apparent that people have no idea they are doing this. They believe the Spam button is just a quick, easy way to unsubscribe, instead of clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email. This link is admittedly harder to find. <br />
<br />
Here are some typical email menus:<br />
<br />

Our first choice was PDF-XChange, by Tracker. We had various problems with it. The final straw came when we discovered that Tracker was including a secret payload in their software: a self-contained PDF output driver, to be sold directly and surreptitiously to our customers.<br />
<br />
The scam went like this. Companies that make PDF software often have two versions. One is a stand-alone <b>PDF utility</b> that looks like a printer. It is designed so end-users can convert the output of any program into a PDF file, such as MS Word, Excel, etc. <br />
<br />
The second version is an <b>SDK</b> (Software Development Kit), aimed at developers, to add PDF capability to their own program. SDK customers are not allowed to create a general-purpose PDF utility, which
could be accessed by third-party programs. Fair enough, Tracker
make their own PDF output driver for this purpose. It wouldn't be fair
to compete with them.<br />
<br />
However, Tracker bundled <i>both</i> PDF products into their SDK. We were forbidden from using the stand-alone version, but we still had to incur the overhead and bloat in our installer. Why would they do this? Because as soon as our customer attempted to use the "SDK" version of the PDF driver as a printer, a helpful message would pop up offering to sell the customer a license for the general-purpose PDF utility. Directly, without giving us a cut. Even though we had incurred the expense of finding the customer.<br />
<br />
Tracker never mentioned this "Trojan Horse" trick. We found out by accident. In addition, this behaviour violates <a href="https://usa.kaspersky.com/partners/allowlist-program" target="_blank">anti-virus guidelines</a>.<br />
<br />
We switched to Amyuni PDF Creator, a much more powerful and reliable product.<br />
<br />
PDF SDKs are usually implemented as printer drivers. Drivers occupy an intimate and privileged position in the operating system. A bug in a driver can cause more havoc than in an ordinary program. A malicious driver can cause considerable damage.<br />
<br />
Microsoft has become <a href="https://progeny.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/217370157-Charting-Companion-Windows-10" target="_blank">more stringent</a> about drivers over the years, changing the interface specifications, and forcing driver companies, including PDF, to overhaul their code. Microsoft now requires certification, by their labs, of all drivers. This is expensive, and naturally the cost is passed on to us in the form of renewed license fees, which can run into the thousands. Recent changes in Amyuni's licensing model have become exorbitant.<br />
<br />
Changes in the Windows driver model break our old code, forcing our customers to upgrade. They are not all happy about this.<br />
<br />
PDF driver installation problems, requiring <a href="https://progeny.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205393108-PDF-Printer-problems" target="_blank">arcane fixes</a>, is one of our top support headaches.<br />
<br />
In response to this situation, we have decided to develop code to create our own PDF files directly. This is not a trivial undertaking (the PDF spec. is 1,300 pages). But it will give us more autonomy, lower our development costs, save money for our customers, and enable us to take advantage of exciting PDF features not available through the driver interface: Table of Contents, Hyperlinks, Alphabetic Index, etc.<br />
<br />
Our expertise with many other file formats (JPG, PNG, RTF, DXF, SVG, HTML, STL) means that our code is structured to adapt itself easily to new output formats.<br />
<br />
We hope to have the PDF conversion completed within a couple of months.<br />
<br />
<i>Update</i>: It's Nov'16, and I'm about half done.<br />
<i>Update</i> <i>2</i>: It's Jul'17, and I'm about three-quarter done. <br />
<i>Update 3</i>: Dec'17 - Hot Dog! it's working. The new PDF does all the charts, with only a few glitches to fix. It is a thing of beauty. Bye-bye cursed driver-based solutions. A day doesn't go by that I don't get a support request from a customer whose PDF driver was zapped by a Windows update, and requires re-installation. As a bonus, Charting Companion now runs under Mac OS/X with Wine.<br />

printing is still in its infancy. Low-cost desktop units have a low
resolution and small base plate size. Finer resolution and larger pieces
require high-end, industrial-grade machines. 3D printers aimed at the
consumer market are limited to three-generation Fan charts. A
five-generation Fan chart is best done with 8" diameter.</span></span>
