Personal Ancestry File
The Personal Ancestry File (PAF) is the genealogy program created by
the Mormons. It's simple, powerful, and widely used. The installers
for this program are included with the CD edition of this study, in the
folder: // Genealogical Data // PAF Files. (Sorry,
links to these installers are not feasible; to access them, you'll
have to locate them among the collection of files comprising this study):
- for PCs: PAF5EnglishSetup.exe
- for Macs: PAF 2.3.1 Installer
(works for OS 9 and earlier; I'm not sure about OS X)
The Mormon* website offers these and similar programs as free or low-cost
downloads, as well as on -line access to much of its genealogical data
base, which is probably the most extensive in the world.

Once the appropriate PAF application has been installed, it can be
used to open the files it was used to create, which are also included with
this study:
- Treadaway-Hoare PAF File
- Th-James-Edmnd1853
The PAF application can export the contents of its files as "GEDCOM"
files. GEDCOM is a protocol shared among many genealogy software
providers, such as Family Tree Maker. It organizes the data
in a PAF file into a simple text format that can then be exported, then
imported into and read by other genealogical applications.
GEDCOM versions of the above PAF files are included with this study
(sorry, no link):
- Tr-Hoare.GED
The main file of this EWTH
(Treadaway Hoare) study
- ThHoarePoole.GED
A
small file for another Hoare family, in Poole, whose relation with EWTH
has not been established
