Hello.

I want to share what I recently found and check if anybody is
related to these ancestors. A couple days ago, I finally checked the
marriage record of my ancestors from Los Altos.

My 2nd greatgrandfather Juan Tapia married my 2nd greatgrandmother
Bibiana Martinez in Lagos de Moreno on February 5, 1879. Juan's
parents were Atanacio Tapia and Secundina Olivares. Bibiana's
parents were Juan Martinez and Matiana Lopez. Before reading this
document I just knew that my Tapia ancestros were from "somewhere in
Los Altos", according to my grandmother. She did not remember

I would like to thank the people who took the time to answer my plea 
for help. I believe I found a solution to the problem, thanks to
Aajay 
suggestions. I was able to export the file with the ".ged" file 
extension.  When I imported it back, it went to my Ancestry Family 
Tree program which also resides on the same drive.

I went back to the PAF program and was not sucessful in my attempts
to 
start a new file.  It looks like the program itself went belly-up.

I don't have a disk for the PAF program. It was downloaded from the 
LDS web site.(for free)  I am not sure whether I want to use that 
program again or to stick with the old one (AFT).

Thank you again everybody.

Thank you Joseph. 

Find the .paf file by doing a search for the name. Right click on the
file and choose properties. Uncheck "read only".

Joseph:

I need some help. Do you know if there is anybody out there who is
using the LDS program: PAF 5.2 who might be able to help me with a
problem?

Here's the problem: I was trying to make some changes to my Windows
XP program, but the changes didn't work. I had to reboot my computer
in "Safe Mode" and ran the restore program. Everything started
working again, except for the PAF program.
I can bring it up but it comes up as a "read only" program. I can
view all of my data, I can print it out, but it is not allowing me to
make changes to it or enter new data. I think the computer recovered
the PAF program from the back-up file that was probably "write

John,

It sounds like your genealogy file might be set to read-only.  If you 
open up My Computer (or Windows Explorer) look in the folder where 
you have your genealogy file stored.  The file will have a .PAF 
extension.  Right-click on the file, select properties and see if the 
attribute read-only at the bottom is checked.  If it is, then uncheck 
it and click OK.  That should reset your genealogy database to 
read/write.  It doesn't sound like the PAF program is the culprit, 
but your genealogy database is.  To test my theory you could create a 
brand new genealogy database and see if you can read and write to 
it.  If you can, then my theory is correct.  If not, email and I'll 
help you troubleshoot it.

Hello.

Los Altos", according to my grandmother. She did not remember where 
were they from. Now, I know that they were from a rancho near Lagos 
called Cañada de Ricos. Is anybody familiar with this name? I 
checked the Jalisco census on the files area and found out that the 
population in that place is currently less than 100. Well, while 
surfing the web, using google, I found something very interesting 
about this rancho. On the Lagos de Moreno official website, I 
discovered
