Where can I get a 5.2 PAF programme

Francis Petchey

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':

"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
