Online PAF Tutorial – BYU.edu

Those of you using Personal Ancestral File (PAF) for your genealogy research, or even those just thinking about it, there is a new online tutorial for PAF, located at paftutorial.byu.edu. It’s incredibly comprehensive, has flash-based demonstrations/tutorials (with audio) as well as step-by-step tutorials, and it walks you through all of the views you would typically encounter while using PAF. Even if you use, and are familiar with PAF, you might still find some of the tutorials helpful. It was created for a family history/genealogy class at Brigham Young University, but they have generously made it available for anyone to use, at no charge.
