Hite Genealogy in the Hite Family Association Computers
The Hite Family Association has genealogy in computers, using the PAF program by
the Church of Latter Day Saints.
We know there are errors and many records lack documentation. Even with these
shortcomings the data can be extremely valuable to both the professional and novice
genealogist.
This "secondary" information is very useful for learning what "primary" data to
research and where to search. The list of contributors is too long for this report. We have
such a list sorted by the family group to which they
contributed. Portions of this list is available to HFA members of the same family group.
The list below including collateral lines is a synopsis of each group, and the
approximate number of marriages and individuals in each group. The group names used
here are names of the subdirectories in the computer program.

program that makes and imports GEDCOM files. If you qualify and are willing to
volunteer to compile or edit one of the family groups please contact: Orville Hite, 7150 E

We will need to know your computer type, memory size, hard drive size and the name
