What I would do is to periodically output your data to a Legacy gedcom file, then log it into a git repository, or an SVN repository which could be stored on your hard drive. I use the git GUI from github. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub It is free. Here is a button on their page to download it: https://github.com/
This is used a lot by software developers who have to track their version changes, and roll back their code if they break something. It is also used if there are a lot of people working on the same software. Maybe an easier way is to load your gedcom (the Legacy version of gedcom, not the 5.5 version) into google doc's -- the word-processor. That keeps a great log of changes and facilitates multiple people to work on the same document. To do this you would have to completely overwrite all the data in the Google doc's file every time you update it. I don't know if that would break Google's log of changes. Last March, Google made an API available for their google doc's collaboration stuff. It would be nice if someone came up with a genealogy tool that would let multiple family members collaborate on the same genealogy database. -- Larry Maddocks On 7/19/2020 8:29 PM, Carol Booth wrote: > What a shame this hasn't been added.
