I've happily used PAF since it came out back in the 80s, but my laptop was stolen and I'd like to find a copy to download to my new laptop. I can't seem to find the link here to download the program or anywhere else. Maybe it's just me and it's here somewhere??
I've used the PAF Program since it first came out, & love it. I've uploaded my FH GED file onto FamilySearch.org but still use my PAF program to fine individuals, & their notes etc. When you have over 18,000 individuals in a file it's easier to fine one person on PAF than search on FamilySearch for them.
My brother has all our geneology on PAF5.2 and I would like to install PAF5.2 on my ocmputer so that I get all the documentation tranfered over correctly which it does not do onto the other suggested apps. How do I download PAF 5.2 so that I can tranfer ALL his information over correctly.
This outdated software is the ONLY program that I have all I need to keep my genealogy in place and I know what I am doing. I'm terribly afraid to use any other software program because it will take me so long to learn.
Betty, yeah, I love it too. Though I use FamilySearch Family Tree when doing genealogy, I still use PAF when I need to print stuff like Family Group Records, etc. I love the simplicity and the nice interface.
Need help. Downloaded PAF 5.2.18.0. Have windows 10 Pro. Cannot edit, add people to PAF or print reports. Tried to delete program. Won't delete. How can I make PAF work?
Gayle Moffatt, I just purchased a new laptop last month with Windows 11, and it works for me. I still have the OLD Ohana Software with Paf Pal and Family Insight. So I forget right now which one of those I can add color to my PAF 5.2.18, and I crossed my fingers, and that worked also. I must say, however, that I wanted to continue helping someone find one of her ancestors, and I have had a ged.com I made for her about 11 years ago. That CD was a "Read Only" so I'll have to figure this one out. Perhaps I can copy from CD and put it on a SanDisk Flash Drive or Camera card. You might need to do that with your PAF 5.2.18. -- just try it. I LOVE GENEALOGY, and when you have something that works, why stop using it for a newer model. I have actually purchased the Ancestry software and twice the updated versions of Legacy 7 & 9 I believe. Have not taken the time to learn any of those. I'm sticking with PAF 5 for as long as it holds up. Working on many families, but my family has real close to 110,000 names now. DON'T GIVE UP!
Gayle Moffatt, I have an idea, if you are willing to work with me. I have a new Lenovo Legion Pro with Windows 11 (64-bit). I also have the VERY OLD PAF 5.2 CD. If you will email me at [email protected]
then I will reply and try attaching my CD -- which I have copied to a flash drive. And I am hoping some place on here it will let you know which one to click on and open, or install, or run setup.
Gayle Moffatt, I just sent you a message before I saw that you already have PAF installed. Are you trying to install a back-up copy? Or are you going to begin with a new PAF file?
Had all my history in it for 15 years, no one could get in and change, my computer crashed and I lost my PAF with all my 3000 plus names and I am so sad.
John S. Lewis,
Where do you go to download PAF 5.2. I have it on one computer but would like to put it on my newest computer. Please help me and tell me what I need to do. Thanks
I used this PAF application for many years in the 90s. It is a wonderful app that one can download Gedcoms from Family Tree websites to connect their family history. I know that it is extremely important to trace your ancestors, for one will see them in the life to come! I am a member of The Church of Latter-Day Saints, the creators of this marvelous software.
Such a simple, user friendly, easy to understand program. Been using it for over 20 years now. From time to time I've tried different programs, PAF 5 being obsolete, but just haven't found a match worth giving up PAF for.
Is there a more modern freeware alternative, just in case?
