Aida, I'm curious of what "all sorts of problems" you found using FTM. Maybe I'm missing something and if so, would like to know about it. I've looked at PAF couple times in the past, and it didn't measure up to FTM, other than being adapted to LDS input, if need be. PAF may have improved in the past few years. Think you can put in more generations now, and printout of trees is now supported. Nice to access other genealogist data, but I would not accept it as 'gospel', for many people do not check out their data or provide documentation. If you do not check it out and circulate the incorrect data, spreads the incorrect information further.

I am now using the Personal Ancestry File disk from the LDS which is available for $5.00. You can data-input all your document information onto this disk and send it to the PAF bank at the Salt Lake City Archives. In this way all your information on your disk will be stored at the Salt Lake City archives and these are accessible to your progeny for all times to come. You do not have to be a member of the Mormon Church to access their archives. Since they have a base inventory of 21 Million ancestors from all over the world, I was able to connect to some older branches of my family which were already on file and were researched by someone else who had also deposited their information at the LDS archives. If everyone would use this source, we could combine all our efforts and avoid a lot of duplicate work. In some cases I was able to continue back to 1616. In other words, it is a depository for all our research to be shared by everyone for very little expense.
