  • Using Personal Ancestral File (PAF) 5.2 by Terry Mason - 3 Dec
    Using Personal Ancestral File (PAF) 5.2 by Terry Mason - 3 Dec. 2005 On July 23rd, 2002 the PAF development team in Salt Lake City announced that PAF 5.2 was now ready for download from the Web site at www.familysearch.org. The list of enhancements is: • The program is more compatible with newer versions of the Windows operating systems, particularly Windows XP, • The file of LDS temples and their starting dates has been updated to include new temples, • Additional "HELP" files have been added, • The "Global Search and Replace" function now works for names, temple codes, and notes. • Attributes for the predefined custom events can now be edited, • The "Match/Merge" function has been enhanced, • Support for the Input Method Editors for non-roman languages has been improved, and • For LDS Church members, the TempleReady Update Files (OUP files) can now be used to update your PAF database with completed ordinance dates. The most significant of all of these enhancements is the option to update or submit records using a GEDCOM created by PAF through TempleReady for Windows. When the Ordinance Index contains data that is used to modify the personal records, a special file with the .OUP file extension is created. This file can be used to update a PAF database with the dates and temples. This is particularly useful for individuals who are unable to bring a backup of their complete database to a family history center. 1. How do you load PAF onto a home computer? PAF 5 is available using a browser with an Internet connection.
