Ancestral Quest is software for genealogy. It stores data in a database file. The default format is .aq. The collaboration format is .ac. Ancestral Quest can also edit .paf files from Personal Ancestral File. However, there are limitations to using .paf files in Ancestral Quest.
Ancestral Quest allows creating pedigree charts, family group sheets, ancestry charts, descendant charts, book reports, and fan charts. It links to online genealogy databases like Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org. This helps research family history.
The .ac file extension is for Ancestral Quest collaboration database files. These files allow authorized users to collaborate on a family tree database. The .ac files are similar to .aq files in layout. But .ac adds user verification rights.
Windows programs that open .ac files include Ancestral Quest and Heritage Family Tree Deluxe. On Mac, Ancestral Quest opens .ac files. With Ancestral Quest, files saved in one format can be converted and saved in another supported format.
