I have found that PAF Insight from Ohanasoftware.com is the best PAF utility for merging, file checking, and searching the IGI.  It will even let you rearange RIN numbers if you choose.  It will show how many pedigrees that you have in your database that are not linked to the main database.  All family history centers have this installed and you can purchase it for $20.00  which you can have refunded in $4.00 increments for referals that purchase using your email address as the referee.

I was curious, do any of you know of a ‘PAF-file checker’?   Something that will report ‘oddities’?

 

I’m using the latest version of PAF (5.2.18) and I’m finding that it’s starting to ‘cross-link’ my tree.  I’m finding individuals to have a son-father, mother-dauther relationship with themselves.  These relationships, I cannot delete.  When I find such a relationship, I cannot add other children, either.  I’m also finding that some individuals are randomly being reassigned to other parents, etc. 

 

There are 4.5K+ names, so I’d prefer not to re-enter by hand.  I can go back to a previously saved database, but this got me wondering if there were a file checker of some kind.

 

Thanks,


Steve
