== Piece by Piece

Are you sick of finding preexisting research that completely fails to cite

sources? Are you weary of combing through piles of data full of contradictions

and impossibilities?

"Piece by Piece" aims to be a strongly evidence-oriented research tool. You

*cannot* enter a single piece of data in "Piece by Piece" without also telling---in

great detail---where it came from and how it relates to existing data.

The hoary Pedigree Chart---that sacred cow of genealogical software---plays

second fiddle, here, if it plays at all. It's just a report, one more way to view

the data you've so meticulously researched and documented.

Maybe you'll find all this too tedious or constraining. That's fine---it won't be

for everyone. But maybe---just maybe!---if you're ready to take your research to the

next level, you'll find Piece by Piece will be the piece you were missing to make

your research much more rigorous.
