    Do not despair ...

    .

    Suggestion ...

    .

    Can I humbly suggest that you try the 'standalone' programme of "Ancestral Quest".

    .

    "Ancestral Quest" is, one of a number, of "Third Party" Applications (being one of the "Family Tree Management" programmes) that is "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    "Ancestral Quest" should be able to "Read" a old PAF4 File; and, then convert that into a File that can be used in "Ancestral Quest".

    .

    "Ancestral Quest" has the look and feel of the old PAF (Personal Ancestral File), just an upmarket/up-to-date version of such.

    .

    The "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' can be found in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    Here is a direct link to the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch':

    https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/

    .

    And, here is the direct link to the "Family Tree Management programmes" themselves:

    https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=family_tree_management

    .

    And, here is the direct link to the basic (FREE) version of "Ancestral Quest" in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch':

    https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/gallery-profile/a2Rf10000079nO3EAI/00034

    .

    "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' include, BOTH, 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes ("Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).

    .

    Some of the "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' have, BOTH, a Basic FREE version; and/or, a Premium PIAD (ie. "Subscription") version, the latter just having more 'Bells and Whistles'. The Basic FREE version is sufficient for most, the average, User/Patron. Whereas, the Premium PAID (ie. "Subscription") version is the choice of most experienced and 'power' Users/Patrons.

    .

    You can use ONE or MORE than one, of the the "Third Party" Applications, the choice is yours.

    .

    Most of the "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that are "Family Tree Management programmes, have INTERFACES that work/connect (directly) with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that can, "Download"; and, "Upload" (ie. "Transfer) between the "Third Party" Application and "Family Tree".

    .

    I hope this helps.

    .
