I have used PAF since the early 1990s and I love it. It's easy to work with and has the capabilities to print out numerous lists.

I have used PAF for so long, it's the best and when I upgraded my computer, I forgot to back up and lost everything, I was so annoyed. This program is the best I've come across. Here's hoping I can get the ball rolling again once the file becomes available for windows 10.

Can't download it for Windows 10 , have been using it for years and want to download it to new computer which has no CD so can't use the cd's I have and keeps going to other software like family tree

Heather, I have purchased a CD player (USB) from Best Buy to use my CD applications. You might look into that source.

I miss using this program, it really was a good full database. It had use of Gedcoms to connect with other users, and it was the best I have used in more than 3 decades of Genealogy work.

Have had the program since day one, PAF 0. back before 1989. Is a great program. just needs to have it updated to work with all the WINDOWS up dates and various browsers that have come down the pike. (11 18 2019)

I've been using the PAF program, as well as the resources at the LDS libraries, for many years.

I love the PAF program, and I also like that program over any other's I have tried. Is there a place on the internet to still get the 5.2 version? Or would someone that still has it be willing to send me a copy of the .exe file?
