Does anybody have suggestions on geneology programs?
I'm aware of two HyperCard stacks, called Geneology and Gene,
respectively (hope I got the names right?) that are either public
domain or shareware. Any comments on these two or any other
programs?
Thanks in advance!

There has been a lot of discussion recently on soc.roots about a new program called PAF for the the Macintosh (actually not new, just new to the Mac) put out by the Mormon Church. It has been getting great reviews by the users. Cost is $35 (can't beat that!) - you have to order it from them. The phone number I have written down is 800-247-3892; I'm not sure this is the correct one, there was some disagreement about the number. Anyway, if this one doesn't work, try posting to soc.roots and someone will come up with the correct one.

It is a good program (especially considering the very low price). He gave this address to write for the program: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Family History Dept. Ancestral File Operations Unit, 2WW 50 East, North Temple St. Salt Lake City, UT 84150 Chris

We're both interested in geneology, but he is more active about searching. He's not computer oriented at all (part of the reason we have a Mac) and loves this program. He's converted quite a bit of the stuff he had on paper to the program format. I'd say the program is well worth the $35! I think I was the one to start the discussion about the 800 number for orders - it changed right around the first of the year. I don't have the new one with me, so I can't be sure whether the one given above is correct or not. I'll try to re-post it later.
