Ancestral Quest is a family tree program that is easy to use yet comprehensive.

Whether you are a user of PAF 5, an older version of Ancestral Quest, or are new to genealogy, AQ 12.1 will help you quickly, easily and intuitively synchronize your data with the family tree of New FamilySearch.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints thought so highly of Ancestral Quest, that in 1999 they licensed the Ancestral Quest code and created the Windows versions of PAF from it. PAF 5 is essentially an altered, older version of Ancestral Quest. If you are a PAF user, you'll feel right at home by upgrading to AQ 12.1, or by using AQ 12.1 as an add-on product to use with PAF 5.

Ancestral Quest is the easiest software to use for the LDS community. How can we claim this? First of all, AQ is simply easy to use. Secondly, most LDS users of genealogy software are already using PAF 5. As a result, they already know AQ. There is only a minimal learning curve for most LDS users. (Well, they will want to learn the new features, but they are already familiar with the basics of the program.)

FamilySearch Certified Logo

Ancestral Quest was the first desktop family tree program to be certified to Access, Update and Sync with New FamilySearch (NFS). It is very easy to use, and has received an award for its completeness. AQ is also Ordinance Reservation and Ordinance Request certified, which means you can reserve ordinances and create Family Ordinance Requests (FORs). AQ is PAF Add-in certified, so PAF users can be assured that AQ will directly import or work with their PAF file.
