Entering Data in PAF

To begin entering data in PAF you must open your file. If you only have one file it will open to that one. Otherwise PAF will open to the last used file.

Begin entering information on yourself first. This will make you the first person on the pedigree chart. Also every time you open the file it will begin with you. Double click on the highlighted box and an information form will appear. Enter your full name and birth date and place in the format discussed previously. Add any additional information you know. When you are finished click the "Save" button located at the top right corner of the box.

Next you can add a spouse or parents by double clicking on the appropriate box. Continue until you have entered all the information that you know.
