What is Ancestral Quest and Why You May Like It

Some people like PAF, some folks like Ancestral Quest, some like Roots Magic. All of these programs are for your personal computer and is accessed anytime...whereas new.familysearch.org is only accessed through the Internet, so you have to go online to see it.

Most people, besides storing all theirinformation on new.familysearch.org, also store it on a software program on thier own computers








You can spend hours cleaning up your information on new.familysearch.org and then go back to the site a few days or weeks later and it could have reverted back to the original messed up data. Different people are cleaning up the same files now.

Ancestral Quest is a program you can buy. You put your own information on it. It links to new.familysearch so you can do temple submissions.

The offer a free trial.
It costs 29 dollars. People I know who have this program absolutely love it.

PAF is still available as a free download from http://familysearch.org/.

If you have been using PAF, you can transfer info to Ancestral Quest.
