Hello All, I like Ancestral Quest http://www.ancestralquest.com/ I have used AQ since 1996. Ancestral Quest version 3 is PAF version 4. After that the two programs have gone their separate ways. One of the reasons (there are many more) I like AQ is because AQ lets you give your sources a type while PAF doesn't. It doesn't matter in the beginning when you don't have many sources, but when you have a lot of them it is a lot easier to look under a certain type for them. AQ is an easy program to use. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. As you get more advanced it has those feature as well such as media and the creation of web pages. My web site(URL below) was made with FrontPage 2000 and AQ for the surname pages. If you want to see one way in which it adds pictures look in the last generation of my WALLACE surname. Click on "Ancestors" button. If anyone has any specific questions on this program please fell free to email me and I will be happy to try and answer them. Bye for now!
