PAF is still very much alive and works in Windows 8, from what I understand. If you can't remember familysearch.org/pr <https://familysearch.org/products/>oducts <https://familysearch.org/products/>it might help to know to look at the very bottom of many familysearch.org <https://familysearch.org/> pages for About, next to Blog, Feedback &Languages. The link to Products is right under the picture next to Press. I had to write to FamilySearch to learn again where to find it.I think I've got a handle on the new version of familysearch.org <https://familysearch.org/> now. :) Ann A.
