Deborah and Anyone, FTM is the genealogy program Family Tree Maker. Just as there are periodically new versions of other programs, there are several versions of FTM. PAF (my personal favorite) is Personal Ancestral File which is indeed made by the "Mormons". I ran across one of the "Mormon" book stores. There you can purchase many, many forms. But, most (maybe all?) genealogy programs will print out these completed forms after you enter your data into that program. FHC is any one of the many, many Family History Centers located all over the USA, as well as in other countries, and, yes, they are also offered by the "Mormons". I am a prime example of the fact that non- "Mormons" are welcome to use the facilities. I remember how lost I felt when I first began to see these terms. After a while, they become ingrained, and then we tend to forget that there are people who have just begun with computers and/or email lists. I hope that this helps you along.
