Back to the main MacGenealogy.org FAQ. This article/FAQ is about Personal Ancestral File for Mac, the genealogy application from FamilySearch. I used Personal Ancestral File for Windows, what about Mac OS X? There is no updated version of Personal Ancestral File for Mac OS X. Development stopped with a version that only runs on Mac OS 9 and earlier. Ancestral Quest is a FamilySearch Compatible Solution to share and collaborate with Family Tree, Compatible with Tree Share, Sources, Discussions, Change History, LDS Support, PAF Compatibility, Memories Write, and FamlySearch Hinting. No other genealogy software program has more Compatible features than AQ. Ancestral Quest is the only 1 Compatible Tree Share software capable. Change isn’t easy. Like many genealogists, you’ve probably used Personal Ancestral File (PAF) for years. You know it like you know your grandma’s sugar cookie recipe. It’s comfortable, it’s familiar, and unfortunately, it’s no longer being updated or supported.
Personal Ancestral File (PAF) Review by teacup, Sep 15, 2019
Wonderfully simple, NO spyware, easy to learn to use and to share with others - there is even a simple WebMaking Tool on the program. I love the charts that can be printed out. There are other places to obtain the program (use a friendly search engine to find them) so no need for sorrow about the Mormons so-called ‘Not-supporting’ it by terminating the easy download of the program from their site. To those of us who know something about stocks and IT departments this was obviously a decision made to push programs that make it easy for ancestry, my heritage, etc to slurp up your hard work once they became ‘partners’ of familysearch - a decision pushed through by stock-holders of those ‘partners’ who also worked in the familysearch IT dept or by the Elite$ in all companie$ and organization$ who always salivate for more money no matter how they get it - including taking advantage of true-believers.
FUNNY about Colin ‘dire warnings” statement - giggle - hmm never happened in my tests so perhaps Colin needs tech-support? Although we must all use a virus checker after downloading anything (even pics) from the web or in email Frilly sissy boys on tumblr.
