Genealogy Software and the Internet

Proposed Q&A site for genealogists to ask questions about how to do various tasks and get the most out of their genealogy software and online resources.

Shouldn't it be about the genealogy in general? I mean, most of the genealogical research deal with non-digital sources (church archives and such). – Tadeusz A. Kadłubowski Jun 28 at 11:22
This proposal is for computers and internet-related genealogy. Genealogy itself I feel is too general a topic and people would be asking how to do research in Madagascar. There is another proposal here at Area 51 for just "Genealogy". If you want that one instead, join there as a follower. – lkessler Jul 3 at 23:59

'Why' is not a good question. How to deal with duplicates would be a good question. – Blake Jul 11 at 3:23

Could someone go down to the courthouse in { county } and copy my grandmother's birth certificate?

Another good off-topic example. Has nothing to do with using computers for genealogy. – lkessler Jul 11 at 7:25

When did they start making birth certificates in Kentucky?

Thanks for this. We will need some off-topic questions to use as examples. This is a general genealogy question. A more specific question that is on topic would be how to access birth certificates at the Kentucky Vital Statistics website. – lkessler Jul 11 at 7:21
