Lds Genealogy

The LDS Church offers free genealogy software that you can use as you do your genealogy research. It is called Personal Ancestral File (PAF) and is one of the best software programs for genealogy. 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.

Personal Ancestral File can be downloaded for free from the Family Search website.

There is an additional software called Personal Ancestral File Companion that is available for a low price that will help you in preparing and printing various genealogical reports.The Family History Library located in Salt Lake City, Utah, is the largest genealogical library in the world. You can see what records are available in the Family History Library Catalog.

Many of the materials from the Family History Library can be sent to one of the 4,500 local Family History Centers found throughout the world.
