PAF ~ Version 5.0

Hi everyone!  I received a new computer for Christmas and had to transfer my files.  That is when I discovered that the version of Personal Ancestral File I was using was outdated.  I knew PAF was no longer supported by the LDS, but it never occurred to me to check to see that I at least had the newest version that was available.  You may want to check to see if you are using the most current version.  It is still a free download from the LDS site.

I also could not transfer my PAF Companion and went online to download it again.  I had previously paid for the Companion, but had to pay again because a new provider [Progeny] is now offering the PAF Companion software.

The bright side of it all is that even though I had to pay another $10 for the Companion [it had originally cost $6], I still saved a lot of money by not hiring a professional to transfer my program files for me, and I ended up with the latest versions of those programs!  Now, THAT's what I call the way to go!!  LOL.

By the way, the Companion is the only program that I have managed to sucessfully get a version of a family tree printed from.  I have tried many family tree printing programs, but just don't have what it takes to get them to do a printout for me.  [Thank goodness, I tried them on a free trial basis.]  PAF Companion is by far the cheapest, and the ease of use allows me to get results.  Let me add that I love the styles available for formatting a family tree in PAF Companion and no, I don't own stock in the company [wish I did :-)].
