Family Searcher

I recently read an article in PAFology titled Family Searcher: an Alternative to PAF Insight, written by Kay Baker. I thought I might do a little comparison of these two programs myself since I recently wrote an article on PAF Insight.

Family Searcher is a program authored by Kevin Owen that speeds up the process of researching names on websites such as FamilySearch.org, Ancestry.com, Rootsweb.com, and EllisIsland.org. But due to the name, Family Searcher, I think the main function is to use it to search FamilySearch for LDS temple ordinances.

I decided to make a Pro/Con list to help show the differences between the programs a little more easily.

Though there are more Pros listed for Family Searcher, I think the benefits for using PAF Insight are far greater than those for using Family Searcher. If I had to pick between the two of them, I would pay the $20 for PAF Insight every time.
