Notice: Although announced some time ago (maybe a week or so), some of you may yet not be aware of this. The LDS Church folks have made available their new Personal Ancestry File for Windows (PAF) genealogy program for no-cost downloading. > PERSONAL ANCESTRAL FILE (PAF) 4.0 (Windows) is available for > download from: <http://www.familysearch.org/> [N.B.: This is a > busy site. If at first you can't reach it, keep trying.] > [I'm not personally endorsing this program over any others -- in fact, I use another one and had always considered the previous DOS version of PAF to be difficult to use. Nevertheless, some very good friends and cousins say that I'd change my opinion if I tried out the program. One possibly negative feature I recently read about online is that the program doesn't include a feature for making books, if that's important to you; it is however fully gedcom-capable, makes the usual lists, charts, etc. I can say one thing -- it would surely be difficult to better the price!!] Birchell Coslow
