Subject: [PAF] Teaching PAF
For anyone teaching PAF, I have some excellent cartoons which
illustrate features of PAF such as long names, GEDCOM file transfer,
diacritics, etc. They were done by the mother of one of the girls I
taught in Primary. I am willing to share them with teachers. If you
want paper copies (sorry, I do not have them scanned and I cannot send
files using my Juno e-mail account), send me your name and address and I
will send you a set as soon as I find a place here to make copies. I
have only been in Oregon now for eleven days and am still not entirely
unpacked.

If you print your pedigree charts with the Companion, you can print all the
characters that can been entered in a name or place field by selecting
Small Fonts, which can be 2-6 point.

Subject: [PAF] Notes and sources
When I got PAF3 I had over 7000 people in PAF 2.31 with all the source info
in the notes. I took the lazy way out and have not moved any info to the
sources and continue to put all info in the notes as I did in the past.
Should I really take all the time necessary to change this information to
the sources from the notes. FYI 99% of my information comes from parish
records on film not birth, death and marriage records. I have no neat
little stories to add to them as when I started this I was the oldest
member of the familiy alive.

Subject: Re: [PAF] I don't "get" it
Another reason to have the ability to enter long names is that this information
may very well be used outside of PAF. I do not bother with most of the reports
that PAF has. I use it mainly as a database to store my information and then I
use a third party piece of software to extract the data and generate text
genealogies. If you ever plan to publish your information, you will definitely
want to be able to type in the entire place name, without abbreviations

All:
For those who are having trouble with PAF 3.0M, please note that if PAF
3.0 was installed at a DOS prompt, the update also needs to be installeed
at a DOS prompt. If there are problems, save your data and remove the
program, then reinstall the original PAF 3.0 and then the PAF 3.0M.

Subject: [PAF] Outline
In a separate message, I've made a copy of the outline suggestions on how
one would like write out their family history. This was taken from the
Everton Publishers sheet that's free of charge. Thought it would help
patrons who wanted to know where to start with their history.
The outline is only a suggestive one. You can add or take away entries
you want to add to your history.
This was originally supplied in most FHC's I've remember going to. Since
then I haven't seen this around,but thought it would be a good idea to
have again in case someone wants to get a copy to print for themselves.
Tom

meet, joys and sorrows, your mother-in-law, other in-laws.

14. Your plans and hopes for the future.
15. Your ancestors: your impressions of those you knew personally, a
general sketch of those you did not know; father, mother, grandparents,
great grandparents, other relatives.
16. Your encouragement and counsel to your descendants: carrying on
family traditions and activities, their obligations to their country,
church and family; your suggestions to your progeny and others on
honesty, humility, health, diligence, perseverance, thrift, loyalty,
kindness, reverence, the Bible and other religious and edifying books;
service to fellowmen; your belief regarding God, etc.
Never underestimate the effect you may have on unborn
generations in helping them through the trails and tribulations of life,
by the written word of advice you leave your children, grandchildren,
etc. If you would like them to live upright, honest lives, give them the
benefit of your experiences. Job, of the Old Testament. lamented the fact
that his words were not written when he said’ “Oh that my words were now
written! Oh that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with
an iron pen and lead in the rock forever!” (Job, 19-23). But they were
written, and he then gave his beautiful testimony of the Redeemer which
has been used countless times as the text if sermons in both Jewish and
the Christian worlds. Your communications to your descendants must be
written. They will also appreciate your life story as a precious
treasure, and bless you all their days for it.
17. Hints on writing your life story: tell your story plainly and with
directness: write truthfully of uplifting, redefined and honorable
occurrences and experiences. Humor helps to make for easier reading. If
you can give the whys of your decisions and changes in activities it may
help others. Illustrate with as many pictures as possible. Make several
copies, or better still, mimeograph or print and give one to each of your
children and grandchildren. Place copies in local and national libraries
and/or historical societies.

Wasn't this on those blue sheets we used to get at no charge? Back in
the '70s, I handed these things at genealogy club meetings and in
classes, and then suddenly I couldn't get anymore out of SLC. I've got
one or two around somewhere ...
Thanks for taking the trouble to rekey this!
