==File Information==
Ancestral Quest software uses the extension '''AQ''' to store family files for version 3.0 to current. Format is similar to the [[PAF_(Personal_Ancestral_File)|PAF]] format which was the native format of the software for versions 1.0-2.2<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20010813065001/http://www.ancquest.com/faqs.htm</ref>.

'''AQ''' files are database files for storing genealogy data<ref>https://www.ancquest.com/faqs/dbformats.htm</ref>. Files begin with hex values {{magic|41510000}} or "AQ" in ascii.<br>
'''AC''' files are database files for storing genealogy data for collaboration<ref>https://www.ancquest.com/faqs/collaboration.htm</ref>. Files begin with hex values {{magic|43415100}} or "CAQ" in ascii.
