I can carry this genealogy program and a rather large database in my shirt pocket at all times. It is convenient and easy to use, and the results will satisfy many genealogists, although not the more demanding experts.
"PAF" stands for Personal Ancestral File, a free genealogy program for Windows that is produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The "stick" is sometimes called a memory stick, a jump drive, a thumb drive, or a USB disk drive. These are different names, but all refer to the same thing: small devices that contain some amount of memory and a USB connector. For the remainder of this article, I will call them jump drives or memory sticks. Whatever the name used, these small devices emulate disk drives when plugged into a computer's USB connector.
