 Many genealogy programs can produce Tiny Tafel reports.Tiny Tafels were traditionally posted to public forums, such as a BBS (Bulletin Board System) and are still regularly used today with a number of internet sites that provide a Tafel Matching System, in order to indicate whether two genealogical databases have a probable connection or overlap.Paul Andereck, former editor of "Genealogical Computing magazine", proposed the idea and the specification was developed by Commsoft in 1986.
