Personal Ancestral File (PAF) Discontinued
If you are a user of Personal Ancestral File
(PAF) like I am, you will be disappointed to learn that the product is to be
discontinued. FamilySearch
has announced that the program will be retired on 15 July 2013 and will no
longer be available for download or support. I have found this a wonderful
product to use as it did all I needed in organising my family history and for free.
Dick
Eastman and Ancestry
Insider have both noted its passing. PAF was first introduced in
1984, but has not been updated since 2002. You can still keep using the
program, but FamilySearch recommend that you update to an alternative. So it
seems like a good time to bite the bullet and try something else. For full
details and information on alternative products, you can visit http://familysearch.org/PAF.
Ancestral
Quest, Legacy Family Tree, and RootsMagic have been introduced in
recent years are supposed to be significantly better alternatives to PAF. These
products are also available free through FamilySearch.
