Richard, PAF 2.31 does not have a .PAF extension. It is a .DAT extension. The importing into a new empty Legacy file is a good suggestion.

I converted from PAF a year ago but I think I may have imported a dotGED from PAF. I would suggest first doing an import to a new empty Legacy file. The only problem I'm aware of is where I had multiple surnames, French Canadian dit names (AKA), such as: Creste Crete Pelletier Peltier Dit Antaya Roy Dit Chatellereau parts of them went into "Title Suffix" field but this may have been how they were in my PAF file.

I would like to load her data for our families into my new Legacy program. I understand Legacy can import PAF directly. Just what do I need from her? A PAF backup? A copy of her family files?
