I recently learned about Ancestral Quest (I've been a PAF user from the beginning). Since I'm a FHC consultant in our area and we're awaiting the roll out of nFS, I've had the past few months to interact with nFS and was surprised to find Ancestral Quest VERY much like nFS with it's collaboration capabilities. I wouldn't be surprised to see a migration to AQ due to this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-91198797328138114762008-03-20T19:42:00.000-06:002008-03-20T19:42:00.000-06:00There was an announcement few months ago from FamilySearch.....<BR/><BR/>3 programs approved to be installed in Family History Library and centers at a later date:<BR/><BR/>Ancestral Quest<BR/>RootsMagic<BR/>Legacy<BR/><BR/>I have not seen any other announcements concerning any other programs.<BR/><BR/>PAF is very closest match to Ancestral Quest, after all it was the programmers at AQ who wrote the PAF in first place.W.

All that changes is that one may not be able to interact online with the New Familysearch (I have seen it demo'ed recently).<BR/><BR/>I am going to continue using Reunion on my Mac. Nothing changes.Genbookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02075136999028197291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-70040324817944286912008-03-20T08:00:00.000-06:002008-03-20T08:00:00.000-06:00I totally agree with anonymous about other genie software. Maybe we are just 'old dogs' that don't or won't learn 'new tricks.' What are we to do?Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726638506314448861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-43777091422786473432008-03-20T07:57:00.000-06:002008-03-20T07:57:00.000-06:00What if I don't want to leave PAF? I have used it for nearly 20 years back to version 2.0. I have tried others: Brother's Keeper, FTM, Legacy, Family Tree Legends and keep going back to PAF. Does this mean I won't be able to use the new Family Search?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-10568122936530600372008-03-19T21:49:00.000-06:002008-03-19T21:49:00.000-06:00NFS is delayed in our area... but the word on the street is that it doesn't have export capabilities (yet).... If PAF is dead when will export be offered. <BR/><BR/>What's a good place to read up on what other genealogy program's NFS features do?hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438135814546116386noreply@blogger.com
