Personal Ancestral File работает на следующих операционных системах: Windows. 2013-06-23 Personal Ancestral File. Personal Ancestral File (PAF) is a desktop genealogy application for Windows that used to be published by FamilySearch. PAF 1.0 was introduced in April of 1984. FamilySearch abandoned development of PAF in 2002, and has fixed any defects since either. The last version is PAF 5.2.18, released on 2002 Jul 13. FamilySearch continued to promote PAF on the FamilySearch home page until 2010 Dec 21. FamilySearch officially acknowledged that they have abandoned PAF on 2013 June 21. FamilySearch continued to make the latest version available for download until 2013 Jul 15. PAF was originally a BASIC program for MS-DOS. There have been releases for CP/M, Apple ProDOS (Apple II) and MacOS. PAF for Windows was published by FamilySearch, but not originally developed by FamilySearch. PAF is a customised edition of Ancestral Quest 3, developed by Incline Software. Why is PAF important? Every genealogy application with a large user base is important, and PAF is one of the most popular genealogy applications ever, but there is something else. FamilySearch used to maintain the GEDCOM specification, and PAF releases are strongly associated with GEDCOM releases. PAF's GEDCOM support is not perfect, but PAF is the closest the industry has to a GEDCOM reference implementation. Why should I use PAF? There are many good reasons to use PAF. The user-interface is dated, but functional and easy to use. PAF is an efficient application with modest requirements; you do not need a very powerful CPU or lots of memory. PAF can be run from portable media such as an USB stick. PAF 5.2.18 is very stable, can handle large databases, and is pretty fast. PAF even has a Palm OS app that allows you to carry your database in your pocket. PAF's GEDCOM export is not perfect, but many third-party applications will handle its idiosyncrasies. In fact, many third-party applications will import PAF databases directly. Why shouldn't I use PAF? PAF's multimedia support is rudimentary, and PAF lacks support for modern features such as geocoding, and citation templates. PAF has just a few consistency checks, not the extensive consistency checks offered by leading genealogy applications. PAF has a Palm OS app, but lacks an app for more current platforms like Apple iOS and Google Android. Switching away from PAF because it is dated makes sense, downgrading to a even more dated application does not. What should I use instead of PAF? Most genealogy software has trial or lite editions. Read reviews and try a few products to find out which one suits you best. Download links for a few genealogy applications that seem a good choice for PAF users are listed below. It is worth mentioning that Ancestral Quest will not only look and feel quite familiar, but can even read and write PAF databases directly, so you can continue to use PAF while you try out Ancestral Quest. It is also important to know that many genealogy software vendors are still peddling pre-Unicode software, and that such software is generally unable to import your PAF database without mangling some names or notes; it can only succeed if you never used anything but Windows ANSI characters, which is unlikely. Besides, even if it could import your data correctly, switching from a Unicode application to code-page application would be major step backwards. Switching away from PAF because it is dated makes sense, downgrading to a even more dated application does not. FamilySearch suggests three products, and that list includes Legacy Family Tree 7.5, a code-page application. FamilySearch is not recommending Legacy because it is a good choice for PAF users, but because it is good choice for them; Legacy can directly upload your data to FamilySearch Family Tree while uploading to competitors like OneGreatFamily, WeRelate, Geni.com and WikiTree requires a GEDCOM file. You follow their ostensible advice at your data's risk. Legacy 7.5 is worth getting for its extensive consistency checks, and because it includes Legacy Charting , but as a PAF user you should not downgrade to a code-page application as your main application. resources. More about PAF. A Brief History of Personal Ancestral File provides a modestly detailed overview of PAF history. Why PAF is still popular discusses how software that hasn't been updated in a decade is still so popular. PAF tags. Also Known As discusses problems caused by PAF's non-standard _AKA tag, an unnecessary deviation from the GEDCOM specification. The _UID tag is about the _UID tag, a common GEDCOM extension that PAF supports. download PAF 5.2.18. FamilySearch does not offer PAF for download anymore, but you can still download it from several download sites. An overview of several download locations is provided below. PAF Companion. PAF Companion is a charting program that reads PAF databases directly. FamilySearch used to provide downloads of PAF Companion Basic . PAF Companion is a product of Progeny Genealogy and is also known as Progeny Charting Companion for Personal Ancestral File . The last version offered by FamilySearch was PAF Companion 5.7.11. PAF Companion 5.7.11 is available from several downloads sites and from Progeny Genealogy themselves. Progeny Genealogy offers PAF Companion 6 Basic for download.

If you are looking for Personal Ancestral File, you have come to the right place. We explain what Personal Ancestral File is and point you to the official download. What is Personal Ancestral File? Personal Ancestral File is a free family history and genealogy software for your desktop. It is provided by FamilySearch that is run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It lets you collect, share and organize your information about your family and roots. You will discover about your ancestors and view records of famous personalities. Choose your family tree chart. It will let you record your direct ancestors. They are easy to download for you to fill in, work with and print. You enter names, citations, dates and data sources into a database, and then to organize and search them, print charts and forms, and share the files in GEDCOM format. PAF supports Unicode. It can link images and other multimedia to individual records. The Ancestral File Number or AFN identifies each individual record in Ancestral File format, although multiple AFNs have been given to several individuals that makes it confusing for research. An AFN has 4 capital letters or numbers, a dash and 2 or 3 more digits or capital letters. It does not contain vowels as a representation of sequence integers in base 30, except last digit that is used as checksum. It is replaced by Personal Identifier in the new database of FamilySearch. The AFN is not shown when viewing on the new database. Download Personal Ancestral File from the developer. File.org does not provide software hosting. We send you directly to the developer's site, to make sure you download the latest, original version of the program. File types supported by Personal Ancestral File.

Personal Ancestral File has been discontinued. According to FamilySearch.org, "On July 15, 2013, PAF was retired and is no longer available for download or support. Current PAF users may continue to use the software on their personal computers." ​ One of the oldest and most popular genealogy software programs available, this family tree software from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints was available for free download until 2013.

  • 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.

There are two tools needed to help organize the data until the picture is clear and the puzzle is ready to be published. · Family History database management program In managing a research project, it is critical to have a computer program to enter the information as it is found so that the puzzle can be completed.
