[Genealib] software

[Cara Negaard]

Hi Mary Lou,

At Great Bend Public Library (Kansas) we do have Family Tree Maker on our 
Genealogy computer.  Patrons are welcome to come in and input, save (to a 
personal floppy, flash drive, etc.) and print their family trees using this 
software.  We don't allow them to take the software home and use it on 
their own computer.  We have a several people over the years come in and 
create their own trees - any time they need to update they just come bring 
in their floppy and add the new information to the file.

We also have available on our Genealogy computer the Personal Ancestry File 
(PAF) software which is a free download from familysearch.org.  Many 
genealogists like this version and it is free to anyone for downloading.

Hope this information has been helpful.

Sincerely,

Cara Negaard
Reference/Acquisition's Dept. Head
