Does anyone who uses Personal Ancestry File for family records know if there is a way to search it to bring up just Miami Co., OH burials? I've started p by p through my printed family bk - rather tedious! Janet

Dear listers: I don't know if I can be helpful, since I use the DOS version of PAF. I tried the Windows version once, but didn't like it and went back to my original "old reliable" program. In my PAF, I can either click on "searcH" in the "options" at the bottom of the screen, or press "H". That gives me a new screen into which I can type as much information as I want to search on. I usually search for somebody by name, i.e. their surname and/or first name. Just for fun, I typed ",Miami,OH" into the Burial Place field and nothing else. I was immediately able to click thru a long list of people who are buried SOMEWHERE in that county. It helped that I usually enter the county between city and state for each person in my files. If there's no simple way to do something like what I just described in the Windows edition of PAF, then this is just another case of simple, handy features being lost in an upgrade of a DOS program. Does "Search" appear in the menu bar at the top of the PAF screen? What happens when you click on it? Have you tried clicking on "Help" and looking for information on the Search feature? Does anybody else on this list use any version of PAF? It's probably the original family history program. I bought my copy in 1987, right after I bought my first computer. One of my LDS cousins had let me try it on her computer and I thought it was so COOL!
