Hi Brian,

Doing a quick Google search, I came across the following link which suggests three free alternative programs that you can use instead of PAF, hope this helps. Best wishes, Terry

I'm surprised too.
I'll see if one of them pops up in the next day or so.
I've still got the program on another computer so might be able to produce a gedcom and upload it to Ancestry or another program.
Fingers crossed !!!

I'm suprised no one has answered you BrianW. Have you thought of PMing Rollo, IGP or anyone else who seems to know their way around?

As PAF was produced by Famillysearch, how about contacting them?

Just upgraded the computer from XP to W10 and found that PAF was discontinued for download in 2013.
The installation data is not in my downloads file so am stuck for accessing my tree which has 4,000 entries.
Has anyone access to the set-up file or any ideas to recover the tree data?
