should become very popular soon. I suspect the
Family History Department of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints will sell many thousands
of copies of this huge collection of CD-ROM disks.
If you have ancestors living in the U.S. in 1880, you
want this collection!
OK, here is the best part: This set of 56 CD-
ROM disks, including software, sells for $49.00.
That low price even includes the postage for
shipment to a U.S. address. A high-quality
genealogy resource that sells for less than a dollar
per CD-ROM disk is bound to be very popular.
To order your own copy of the 1880 U.S.
Census on CD-ROM, go to
http://www.familysearch.org, click on
"Order/Download Products" and then click on
"Software Products." Continue to follow the menus
until you find the 1880 Census listed for $49.00.
You will note that the order form is on a secure
Web server, so you can safely enter your credit card
number and other personal information.
PAF Companion 5.0
[The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy
Newsletter and is copyright 2001 by Richard W. Eastman.

Personal Ancestral File for Windows is one of
the most popular genealogy programs in the world.
There are two good reasons for this: it does all the
basic functions of a genealogy program and it is
free. You can't beat free. Personal Ancestral File for
Windows is available at www.FamilySearch.org.
As good as PAF is, one must realize that it still
is a rather basic program. It doesn't have all the
"bells and whistles" of the higher-priced and more
powerful programs. As a result, The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released PAF
Companion in 1997. This commercial program adds
numerous new reports to the basic PAF program.
Each new version of Personal Ancestral File for
Windows has soon been followed by a matching
release of PAF Companion. This week I had the
chance to use the new PAF Companion version 5.0.
It is designed for PAF version 5.0 and 5.1 but also
works well with PAF versions 3 and 4.PAF Companion adds the following reports that
are not in the basic PAF program:
" Family Group Record-A printed
version of family group view in LDS format.
" Standard Family Group-A variable
format that will print all user-defined events.
This is a new feature added to PAF
Companion 5.0.
. Kinship-Print all relatives of an
individual with their relationship(s).
" Hourglass Chart--A box chart that
prints both ancestors and descendants for an
individual. This is a new feature added to
PAF Companion 5.0.
" Pedigree Chart-Traditional LDS
pedigree chart of an individual's ancestors.
" Ancestor Chart-A box chart of an
individual's ancestors.
" Fan Chart-A unique "fan"
presentation of an individual's ancestors.
You can also print a full circle or quarter
circle chart.
* Ahnentafel-An individual's
ancestors prepared in a book format together
with an index. Different from the other
charts and reports, the Ahnentafel is output
directly to your word processor for further
editing and printing.
" Descendant Chart-A box chart of
an individual's descendants.
" Outline Descendant-An outline
report of an individual's descendants
indented by generation. This is a useful
summary report because only one line per
person is printed.
* Register-An individual's
descendants prepared in a book format
together with an index. Like the Ahnentafel,
the Register report is output directly to yourDGS Newsletter Volume 25, Issue 219, June 2001 95
