The genealogy database program, Ahnenblatt, was updated to Ahnenblatt 4.12. This update mainly concerns file and search settings/dialogues and fixes, concerning Ahnenblatt 4.10 (released on 1 August 2024). The developer also mentions that Ahnenblatt backs up information of the open genealogy file in the background, in case of a program being shut down improperly (power failure, etc.), so that the next time you open it, you will be prompted on whether to continue with the previously opened data, and that there had been issues with this, but they are now fixed.
Ahnenblatt is a Windows genealogy program (Windows Vista – Windows 11), and is one of the few Windows-based genealogy database programs that has a “portable” version that can run off of a USB-based flash drive.
