Why Use a Program other than PAF?
Save Time - Sharing information to or from NFS can be done with a couple mouse-clicks rather than typing the information in manually.
Eliminate Frustration – They help you “eat the elephant one bite at a time” with selected groups of ancestors, descendants, etc. and not get overwhelmed!
Get Organized - Track what you’ve done and what still needs to be done (who needs ordinances, who needs more information, what records have changed since the last time you looked at them, etc.)
