Where can I get a 5.2 PAF programme

I started on Paf when I joined the Church, and my wife and I served a full time Temple mission, and did quite a lot of my basic gaps. Now the programme I was on has decided they don't like all the detail and have wiped mostly addresses, and female names, and thus the truth from my family tree.

I need to get back to a tree that does not invade my computer.

My intention was to hand all my work over to the Church when I pass on, so that all the Temple work that is needed, can be completed.

So, please I need this programme as it is compatible with my computer, and I can start to repair all these gaps

    Hello Francis Petchey

    FamilySearch Family Tree no longer supports the PAF program. Therefore, I Googled your question, "Where can I get a 5.2 PAF programme".

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, one who has used PAF, the the past ... ]

    As an aside ...

    Depending on the 'age' of your Computer, you may find that "PAF" (even the last version), will nor work.

    As such ...

    I would humbly suggest that you forgo "PAF"; and, "Download" the latest version of "Ancestral Quest".

    "Ancestral Quest" SHOULD be able to read; and, convert, a "PAF" File.

    "Ancestral Quest" is one of the "Third Party" Applications that is "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    Plus, there is a FREE version of "Ancestral Quest".

    "Ancestral Quest" can be found in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch'

    Here is the direct link to "Ancestral Quest" in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch':

    https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/gallery-profile/a2Rf10000079nO8EAI/00035

    "Ancestral Quest" is basically an upmarket version of "PAF".

    Good Luck

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks, but no thanks. I now totally avoid Family Search, as they are totally inflexible, and have been at the base of my problems. They do not understand that Yorkshire was administered in 4 separate sections, for the best part of 4 centuries until 1974. They do not accept addresses that occurred prior to 1974, and they passed this removal of occupations, wives names and addresses on to Roots Magic. So I GED com-ed most of what I still had out of 24000 persons, and wiped Roots Magic from my programmes.

    So I do my own research, as this tree is for those who follow on after me.

    I hope you understand
