Ohana Software has you covered. Well, thats not completely true. I really love PafInsight. I have a data base that is about 200,000 individuals and it is too large to work with PAFInsight. Unless the new FamilyInsight will work with large data bases? Karen

As a user of PAF, (I also have other genealogical programs I use) but I like PAF but I don't understand the reference to not working directly with NFS? I assume this is a feature that other programs have which allow you to check on an individual and do an search on the Internet. I know that some of the other programs do that, and sometime I find it useful, sometimes I don't. I do wish that the search engines on sites such Footnote, Ascestry, WorldVitalRecords were better. When you know somethings are true and you want other things, it is less than desirable to have 1930 Census records come up for a person you know was born in 174? and died by 184?.
