Description
Personal Ancestral File (PAF) 5.2, build 5.2.18.0, is a Windows®-based version of one of the most widely used genealogical management programs for home computers. PAF 5.2 does not provide genealogical data. Instead, it helps users organize their family history records. It can produce, either on screen or on paper, family histories, pedigree charts, family group records, and other reports to help users in their search for missing ancestors.
