I’ve had a contact from a very nice lady today, and we are able to share lots of information with each other. We would like to swop Gedcoms but she is using PAF 5 and isn’t sure whether it supports Gedcom files. If it does, can someone please give me some instructions, as I use FTM and only know that way! Many thanks! Mandy :)

Well I exported my GR tree to my PAF 5 using Gedcom so I guess the answer is yes! Don't know about FTM, but in PAF you just click on the File button at the top left screen and then choose either import or export and follow instructions. nell

Thanks Nell. I think this lady must have been typing her info manually into both PAF and GR because she didn't know how to get the info from PAF to GR. I'll mail her now. Many thanks, Mandy :)

Thanks Ron. I did think that they probably were, but I was a bit unsure with PAF being free - thought it might not do everything that the paid-for stuff does lol! Mandy :)
