1. What computer program(s) do you use to store your information?
PAF -- and I really like it. Then I use Kinpublish to read the PAF
info. and put it in a more readable form.
2. Do you use any other program(s) to store or record information?
No
3. What program(s) do you use to Communicate with others?
AOL
4. Describe your Record Keeping System. (Include, if any, number
assignment procedures and types of categories used along with pecial
"piles", if any.)
After info. is typed into PAF, I run a copy for my 3-ring binders
which are set up for every family line. In these binders, I also keep the
proof copies, so everything is in one place. However, my daughters each have
a backup of my PAF records, in case of disaster. And my notes are complete
insofar as to where I found the information - and the information is typed
into the notes as well, as I figure they won't have a particular book to see
what was said about their ancestors - and this way they have it all printed
out.
On my unrelated information, I keep a duplicate copy of PAF on a smaller
computer and keep the family info. together. In the notes, I put like BR1 as
a ref. and then file folders are kept for BRown and the documents themselves
are numbered BR1, BR2.
It really works slick when you want to see if you have a certain person in
your files - but you don't have to take the time to type all the ref. into
your notes.
5. Do you own a scanner or photcopier? If so, what make and model?
No
6. Do you have a special E-mail address to be used for attachments?
No
