I am late to this thread but new to Obsidian. I do my genealogy on Family Historian which I think is a very good program. I am using Obsidian for my research problems: Person born 1780 - common name of Thomas Dix in Kentucky; father born in VA? Too many possibilities to count. I have found that this program has allowed me to eliminate 3 possible fathers. Early ancestors often have few records so secondary info is sometimes all you have. Once you have a number of secondary topics, i.e. naming patterns, children’s names, places and times, etc. and start the linking/back linking it become clear rather than comparing reports from your genealogy program. It think it is a valuable tool in genealogy research. Charlene
