What is a .AQZ file?

An .AQZ file is a type of backup database file specifically used by the software called Ancestral Quest, which is developed by Incline Software. Ancestral Quest is an application designed for creating and managing genealogical data, essentially helping users to build and maintain their family trees.

The .AQZ file contains a compressed version of the family tree genealogical database. This means it includes detailed records such as the names of family members, their birthplaces, and other personal descriptions. The compression is beneficial as it helps to reduce the file size, making it easier to store and backup large amounts of data.

To open an .AQZ file, you need to use the Ancestral Quest software. Here’s how you can work with this file type in Ancestral Quest: 1. **Opening the file**: Launch Ancestral Quest. On the menu, select File → Open. From there, navigate to the location of your .AQZ file, select it, and open it to view or restore the backup of your genealogical database.

2. **Creating a backup**: If you are working within Ancestral Quest and want to create a backup of your current database, you can do so by selecting File → Backup from the menu. Follow the prompts to choose the location where you want to save the file and confirm the backup. The software will create an .AQZ file containing all your current data.

Ancestral Quest not only allows you to record and organize the information about your family members but also provides tools to visualize the connections and relationships within your family tree. This can be particularly useful for anyone from hobbyists to professional genealogists who are looking to preserve their family history digitally.

In summary, the .AQZ file extension is associated with Ancestral Quest’s backup database files, which are used to save and compress genealogical data. These files can be opened and managed through the Ancestral Quest software, which provides various features for handling and visualizing genealogical information.
