It is free and you can download it (free) from The Church of Latter-Day Saints at http://www.familysearch.org/. You also download PAF Companion which is a nice tool for this program. Another very good program is TMG which is not free. TMG is The Master Genealogist which you purchase at http://www.whollygenes.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc (Wholly Genes). A great program and very comprehensive but can be difficult to use, for some people. Then you have the whole range of programs in between. Simply choose the one you feel fits your needs and the one you feel the most comfortable using. Good luck with your searches. Ed
