- The program that you referred to in your post that is produced by the Mormon
- Church is Personal Ancestoral File (PAF). The Program does the following:
-
- Pedigree Charts
- Family Group Sheets
- Allows for notes to be added and edited
- Charts
- Ancestry, Decendency, and Ahnentafel charts
- Lists
- by individual, marriage, or place
- showing possible record problems, ie mother was 5 when child was born
- surname frequency, end-of-line individuals, individuals without re-
- corded parents,
- Allows custom designing of reports
- Check for possible duplicate entries
- And more
-
- It allows for your line to pass through brothers of the same family with-
- out crashing. Also, it doesn,t take much room -- about 1.3 megs for the
- programs and very little for the database. I have about 15000 names saved in
- less than 1.44 megs.
-
- The program contains a research data filer which I have not had the time to
- learn how to use, but the rest of the program is very simple to use.
-
- The program costs less than $40.00 and can be obtained from the LDS distri-
- bution center. Their number is 1-800-537-5950. If that number only works
- in Utah, their address is
- 1999 W. 1700 S.
- Salt Lake City, UT 84104
