Yes, I've done it again. I am not a newbie to genealogy, I just never have had a handle on the different files in the PAF program. So therefore, I try and watch very closely Every time I back up it makes a new file. If I inadvertently click on the short cut to PAF that's on my desktop, I expect it to be the file I'm working in. Well, not so tonight. The last family I was researching (with 9 new entries) are in the other file. I do not know how it replaced my current file on my desktop, but it did. So, my question is: how can I, without retyping all those 9 new people and sources with notes, get them into my regular Paf file? I surely hope there is a solution!! If not, I will be up the rest of the night retyping...thank you. Carol

Export just those names to a gedcom, inport that gedcom to your file, then link them..
