If you’re in the Northern Utah area you might be interested in the Layton Personal Ancestral File Users Group (LPAFUG).
LPFUG meets the last Wednesday of every month at 7:15 pm at the Layton Hills Family History Center (LHFHC), 2300 North 1200 West, Layton, Utah 84041.
PAF helps you manage your family history (genealogy) information, creates pedigree files, and family group sheets.
Here’s your chance to share your expertise, ask questions, and learn how to use PAF.
No cost to join in!
Many of you already know, the standard genealogy software for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been PAF (Personal Ancestral File). The software hasn’t seen an update in a long, long time, and most people have moved on to Legacy.
I just read a Church Memo: no future development is planned for PAF. Instead, the Church is developing an online tool that will enable you to import your GEDCOM file and use it online. They are advising that you do not import large GEDCOMs for various reasons. They do not plan to offer an “offline” software, but assure us that there will be 3rd party applications that will be enabled to sync with the new online tool.
No ETA regarding its public availability was mentioned.
