1. RE: [PAF-4] Users Guide [1]
Ethel, "SVPAFUG" stands for the Silicon Valley PAF Users Group, based in San Jose, CA. They have produced two editions of a great helpful aid for PAF users, called "Family History Documentation Guidelines". You can read all about it on their web page, and order from there, too: http://www.svpafug.org/ Cost is USD10 and it is worth every cent! Lance **** For PAF 5 users, join us at Yahoo!Groups.

2. Re: [PAF-4] Correcting UNKNOWN spouse [1]
Bob, I think if you add the new person (wife) by doing an "add", "spouse" and entering her data, you should get a drop-down question that asks you if you want to add this spouse to the current marriage or to a new marriage. Select "current Marriage" and it should replace the Unknown that was automatically added before with the correct data.

Betty, Classic Clipboard works with any program where "cut and paste" or "copy and paste" is required. It will store a multitude of items you regularly need to paste, such as URL's, regular messages, notes for use in your genealogical records, even photographs - anything that you can think of can be placed in Classic Clipboard.

Hi Mary Anne! Access your Multimedia Collection (click on the little camera in task bar). Select the photo you wish to change, then click EDIT PHOTO. There are items in the Crop From box on the screen that you will be able to "play around" with to achieve your desired result. Lance **** For PAF 5 users, join us at Yahoo!Groups.

5. Re: [PAF-4] Gedcom import/export between Macs and PC [1]
I believe a .sit file is a Mac type of compressed file, similar to a Windows type .zip file. It probably needs to be uncompressed first. Try using an expander program such as StuffIt Expander which you can get at http://www.aladdinsys.com/expander/index.html .

6. [PAF-4] Gedcom import/export between Macs and PC [1]
Help! I have a relative that is using PAF 2.3.1 for MacIntosh and I'm using 4.0 for PCs. Can I import one of his gedcoms? I tried, and got a drop-down that said insert disk #2. It's only a 35 KB file and fits in one disk. Then when I check the listing file, every entry shows that there is a missing delimiter. Is there something special I need to do to import the file? Or something special he needs to do to prepare the gedcom so it can be read by a PC? Dick Cazier Lakewood, CO
7. Re: [PAF-4] Can I convert twice? [1]
You didn't say if you had *also* made any additions or changes to the PAF 4 file. If not then just convert the latest PAF 2.31 file, using a different name to save it in PAF 4. Make sure it is OK then you can delete the original PAF 4 file. If you have altered both then probably the best is to just export the names that have been changed in PAF 2.31 and import and merge them in PAF 4.

9. RE: [PAF-4] Use of F8 key on PAF [1]
Hi Mary Anne, There a couple of ways to do this, all involving the Windows Clipboard. However, Windows Clipboard limits you to one item saved at a time. To work with a number of items, when entering, say, the same family name from the same area, you need a little more capability. This is so that you can "paste" surname, locations, and notes when they are all the same. For an efficient way of doing this I use Classic Clipboard, which enables you to store many items for "cutting and pasting". You can download
10. [PAF-4] New Email Address [1]
Dear Friend; My New Address is ekkuhns@usmo.com. Please make the change in your address book. I am trying to send to everyone in my address book at one time. I hope it works. My Home Page (Web Page) stays the same. http://www.usmo.com/~ekkuhns Old address was ekkuhns@lakeozarks.net for several years. It seems strange to change-but they tell me I must. Thanks, Eula Kuhns 1305 Jeffries Rd. Osage Beach, MO 65065
11. Re: [PAF-4] Correcting UNKNOWN spouse [1]
I think that I don't understand the problem: Are you saying that you have a wife entered as "Unknown" married to a known husband and with known children entered -- such that every body has his/her own RIN and the marriage has a MRIN? Why can't you just go to "Unknown" and edit that person's data -- including that person's name????? Jim Green mailto:JMGreen@sisna.com http://users.sisna.com/jmgreen

This reference appeared in a recent letter: FYI, I use the current SVPAF Users Guide (a great book) but it doesn't > contain a complete listing of such possibilities (that would, more than > likely, be impossible). Could someone tell me more about that Users Guide; what SVPAF stands for and how it is obtainable?

13. Re: [PAF-4] Correcting UNKNOWN spouse [1]
Jim, As I understand it, the situation is someone entered a child, then added a father and more children, but had no idea who the mother was. When you enter one parent, without adding any info on the other parent, the program automatically enters and Unknown for the other parent and a marriage for the 2. But no RIN is assigned to the Unknown parent. So you can't edit this Unknown parent. If you edit the marriage to delete it and then add a new spouse, you unlink the known children from the father, so y

15. Re: [PAF-4] Correcting UNKNOWN spouse [1]
Hi! there Fred, There is another easier way to do this. I had several duplicates I inadvertently left on the database where I had more than one marriage, where one was an unknown individual. This method can also be used where you have only marriage. Open the individual who has a marriage to an unknown individual. Click on the marriage to open it up. Click on the delete marriage to remove the marriage to the unknown individual. This will remove any association with the unknown spouse and leave it with

Elborn; I hope the following will be of help. Your questions have been plaguing genealogists for decades and have resulted in a great deal of debate.

Forgive me if this has question has been asked here before. --Is there a later version of PAFbook than version 2? --If not, how far back with PAF versions is it necessary to go in order to use PAFbook? I know I once used it with 2.31, but would have to reload that (if I can find the discs!). Would it work with PAF 3? I am currently trying to do some writing without the aid of computer generated text because I do not like the book produced with PAF 4. On looking back at things I produced with PAFbook I

19. [PAF-4] Picture Captions [1]
Hello again all: Once again I am here looking for 'help' with the PAF 4 multimedia...photos. I have written in Caption information, and also descriptions, but none of this shows up under the picture.....or anywhere in the notes that I can see. I would assume Caption means The name/subject of the photo and would appear underneath it.....but nothing. Again, I cannot find any explanation in the Help section. Oh yes, while I am at it......In the older PAF versions it was possible to use the F8 key to re-en
20. RE: [PAF-4] Use of F8 key on PAF [1]
Mary Anne, In addition to using the Clipboard, dicussed by Lance, you can also ditto the information among relatives and the person in the primary position. To do this, bring up the 'Note" window for the person you want to add a note to. In the upper left hand corner, in very small letters, is the word "Edit". Click on "Edit" and it will allow you to ditto information you have already added for others. This is the same in PAF4 and PAF5, as is also the use of the Windows Clipboard. Steve Lance

James; Yes, there is a PAF 5 e-mail list. The address is: PAF-5-USERS-L@rootsweb.com. You subscribe by sending a message to that address. Put the command "subscribe" (without the quotation marks) in the BODY of the message. Do NOT include any other text in the message. Like you when I first used PAF 5 I thought that the changes were slight and cosmetic. I also did not like to change to the single entry field. Now, however, I recognize that the changes are more extensive than I initially realiz

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS, TOO. I WRITE DOWN ALL THE RINS OF THE RELATIVES. THEN I UNLINK THEM. THEN I CAN GO TO EDIT MARRIAGE AND DELETE THE MARRIAGE. THEN I RELINK THE RINS BY GOING TO ADD, SPOUSE, SELECT OR ADD, CHILD, SELECT. IT IS TEDIOUS BUT IT WORKS.
