Speaking of KiCad ....
Yesterday, I tried for the first time KiCad, and my first board design with it.
The very first part I was looking for .... I was not able to locate it.
Is it because I am a newbe or because this part does not exist yet, beeing "too
old" ??
I was looking for :
Card edge connector ( fingers print ) , any contact count, BUT pitch = 3.96 mm
Any help ?? Thanks !!

It's normal to need to create footprints for new PCB designs. The public KiCad
libraries have a lot of parts in them, but they're still a tiny subset of all of the
footprints that exist.

That is pretty obscure, it is not like a standard IC footprint or connector.
Better to learn now how to create your own footprints in the KiCAD symbol editor.

That absolutely is a standard connector. It's more commonly referenced as
a .156 inch pitch edge connector.

Good advice. I use Eagle and I almost always have to create or modify the
symbols and packages I need.
