Thanks Everyone;
A member came into the FHC on Sunday during Sunday School with a PAF
File on a USB stick and wanted to turn it into a GEDCOM to upload into
FamilySearch. He is having some health problems and is hoping to upload his
names to get work moving on his names. I wondered if the problem was the
PAF File, but I was able to load it into Legacy and followed many of the
steps to making a GEDCOM; but it did not seem to work. It is also a long
time since I made a GEDCOM. I'm not sure if it was to short of a time,
very slow computers at the FHC or if I missed a step.
I will phone him and try following the steps from everyone this week.
He said he might have it on a GEDCOM on another stick at home. I felt bad
because I knew I should have been able to do it easily for him. When I saw
Carolyn's question: it reminded me that I also had the same question.
Thanks Again,
Pat
