MacPAF is (I think) nearing a public release. MacPAF if modeled after Personal Ancestral File (PAF) for Mac, and for those who are waiting to upgrade their genealogy software and who are looking for a replacement for PAF for Mac, this might just be the application you are looking for. While there are more mature Mac genealogy applications (and the list has grown to a dozen or so active Mac applications, which really surprised me), and that have more features, MacPAF is more geared towards those used to PAF for Mac.<\/p>\n
I read that the developer is working on making it TempleReady as well as having LDS Ordinance indicators. I’m not that familiar with what all that means, but I understand it is important to Mormon genealogists.<\/p>\n
I look forward to future versions, as I got a chance to play around with MacPAF for a few minutes, and I liked how intuitive it was as far as navigation (it’s hard to describe without seeing it in action).<\/p>\n
It’s unfortunate that the LDS Church has stopped updating their genealogy software, but I’m glad that somebody has picked up where they left off (and it’s not just MacPAF – There is an application called Personal Ancestry Writer II that is also oriented towards providing a modern version of PAF for Mac). I have heard that the LDS Church is working on online software, which I guess is where things are slowly moving (several of the major Windows genealogy applications are geared towards pushing you to use online resources), and while I have nothing against any of that (I have a website setup with The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding, which I think is the best online genealogy application, hands-down, but PhpGedView is a good alternative for free, if you don’t want to pay for TNG). Anyways, enough of my ramblings.<\/p>\n
