-'''Personal Ancestral File (PAF)''' is a genealogy management software product provided free of charge by FamilySearch. PAF allows users to enter names, dates, source citations, image files and other source information into a database. That information can then be used to print forms and charts, such as family group records, pedigree charts, descendancy charts, and so on. PAF also allows you to share your genealogical files with other researchers using GEDCOM formatted files. It also links image files and media files to individual records. Downloads are available from [[FamilySearch Downloads]]. A complete list of all LDS Temple codes can be found at [http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/codes/ ldschurchtemples.com].
