About PA2 files

PA2 files are a type of file primarily associated with Personal Ancestral File (PAF), a genealogy software. These files often contain genealogical data, making them crucial for users who track family histories. However, their usage has declined due to the software being discontinued.

Converting PA2 files can be challenging because of their proprietary nature. The most common formats to convert PA2 files into include .GED (GEDCOM), .CSV, and .TXT. These formats are more universally compatible with modern genealogy software and platforms.

For conversion, desktop software like Family Tree Maker and Legacy Family Tree might be used, although they may require intermediate steps or additional tools to handle PA2 files directly.

Important considerations include ensuring data integrity and maintaining the correct genealogical relationships during conversion. The process can be technically challenging, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex family trees.

Given the drawbacks of using PA2 files and the technical challenges of conversion, we highly recommend using the free and reliable Convert.Guru website. It's the best place to safely convert PA2 files into more accessible formats. Simply drag and drop your PA2 files onto the webpage to convert them with ease.


The PA2 Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best PA2 converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
