Book Description

Karen Clifford s Genealogy and Computers for the Complete Beginner not only explains how to use the computer as you embark on your family history odyssey but also introduces you to the vast resources of the leading genealogical institution in the world, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Perhaps the most important feature of Karen's book is its user-friendliest explanation of the Personal Ancestral File software program (PAF) developed by the LDS Church, the most popular genealogical program in the world. PAF, of course, was designed to be used with the International Genealogical Index, the Family History Library Catalogue, and other data bases of the LDS Church. Genealogy and Computers for the Complete Beginner not only explains their various uses but also teaches you how to access them with a minimum of hassle via the Church's local Family History Centers throughout the U.S. This new edition also includes updated sections on census research, "self-tests" at the end of each chapter, and Family History Library handouts.
