Hi Michele, I use Ancestral Quest. It is the one that comes with the cd on the LDS FAmily History Suite. I know that it is compatible with the older version of PAF and not with newer version. That's why I haven't upgraded to the newest version of PAF ;) Ancestral Quest is coming out with an upgrade (promised sometime this month) and should be fully compatible with the new version of PAF. It is user friendly, lets you print a book with your current data and an ahnataphel (sp) format and is sooooooo easy to use. The only drawback is that you must create a gedcom for Temple Ready, but this isn't a problem if I just use PAF on doing the Temple Ready. I am sure that there are some other good programs out there, but this one is from an LDS base company and was designed to be the PAF for Windows. My version right now doesn't accept newer versions of gedcoms, so that is also one drawback. However, the upgrade should take care of that. I just take the gedcoms to my church computer and use the new version of PAF to exchange the gedcom to a lower version of PAF. So, holler back at me if you would like more info on this good program.
