Personal Ancestral File is a Windows®-based version of one of the most widely used genealogical management programs for home computers. PAF does not provide genealogical data. Instead, it helps users organize their family history records. It can produce, either on screen or on paper, family histories, pedigree charts, family group records, and other reports to help users in their search for missing ancestors.
Features allow users to:
Type each person's information only once
Link individuals to families
Type names and places using characters from any language
Create templates to customize data entry
Print pedigrees, family groups, or lists
Track your research sources
Use photos, sound clips, video, and notes to add interest and value
Search, find, and correct information
View family information in different ways
Match/merge duplicate entries

Works well, very stable, no problems ever. Does everything most people require in a family history program.
Pros
Stable, works great in Windows 98 up to and including Windows 7. Not sure about Windows 8 but from what I read so far, if it works in Windows 7 it should in Windows 8???
