genealogy software
I am using Personal Ancestral File. I started using PAF with version 2.1, on a TRS80 Mod III. When we went to the Osbornes I think PAF worked on that CPM platform, too. Getting an IBM was a big deal. I have participated in PAF users groups here and there. There is not one of those in my town, but an hour away.I like PAF 5. It is free. It works well. I am familiar with it. It does a lot. I also like having PAF Insight to use with it. I am using newFamilySearch, too. (...and FamilyInsight, from Ohana Software.) Because I am online with newFamilySearch, and I have a googlepages website for my genealogy, I have not felt the need to get other more fancy genealogy software.
With newFamilySearch I mean to try to keep track of my genealogy online, and when the combining is under control, and we can download easily from that website, maybe update my system. I still recommend PAF 5, even though I understand the the LDS Church does not plan to update and maintain it. It is still a reliable workhorse.
