History

Infobases, Inc.

Ancestry.com headquarters in Provo

In 1990, Paul Allen (not to be confused with Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen) and Dan Taggart, two Brigham Young University graduates, founded Infobases and began offering Latter-day Saints (LDS) publications on floppy disks. Allen's brother Curt and his brother-in-law Brad Pelo had founded Folio Corporation, where Paul Allen had worked in 1988. Infobases chose to use the Folio infobase technology which Allen was familiar with as the basis for their products.

The first products were floppy disks and compact disks sold from the back seat of their car. In 1994 Infobases was named among Inc. magazine’s 500 fastest-growing companies.[6] Their first offering on CD was the LDS Collectors Edition, released in April 1995, selling for $299.95,[7] which was offered in an on-line version in August 1995.[8]

Ancestry.com

On January 1, 1997, Infobases' parent company, Western Standard Publishing, purchased Ancestry, Inc.,[9] publisher of Ancestry magazine and genealogy books. Founded in 1983 by John Sittner as a genealogy newsletter, Ancestry magazine had been launched in January 1994. Western Standard Publishing's CEO was Joe Cannon, one of the principal owners of Geneva Steel.[10]

In July 1997, Allen and Taggart purchased Western Standard's interest in Ancestry, Inc. At the time, Brad Pelo was president and CEO of Infobases, and president of Western Standard. Less than six months earlier, he had been president of Folio Corporation, whose digital technology Infobases was using. In March 1997, Folio was sold to Open Market for $45 million.[11] The first public evidence of the change in ownership of Ancestry Magazine came with the July/August 1997 issue, which showed a newly reorganized Ancestry, Inc., as its publisher. That issue's masthead also included the first use of the Ancestry.com web address.

More growth for Infobases occurred in July 1997 when Ancestry, Inc. purchased Bookcraft, Inc., a publisher of books written by leaders and officers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[12][13] Infobases had published many of Bookcraft's books as part of its LDS Collector's Library. Pelo also announced that Ancestry's product line would be greatly expanded in both CDs and online. Alan Ashton, a longtime investor in Infobases, and founder of WordPerfect, was its chairman of the board. Allen and Taggart began running Ancestry, Inc. independently from Infobases in July 1997, and began creating one of the largest online subscription-based genealogy database services.[14]

In April 1999, to better focus on its Ancestry.com and MyFamily.com Internet businesses, Infobases sold the Bookcraft brand name and its catalog of print books to its major competitor in the LDS book market, Deseret Book. Included in the sale were the rights to Infobases' LDS Collector's Library on CD. A year earlier, Deseret Book had released a competing product called GospeLink, and the two products were combined as a single product by Deseret Book.[15][16]

The MyFamily.com website launched in December 1998, with additional free sites beginning in March 1999.[17] The site generated one million registered users within its first 140 days.[14] The company raised more than US$90 million in venture capital from investors[14] and changed its name on November 17, 1999 from Ancestry.com, Inc., to MyFamily.com, Inc. Its three Internet genealogy sites were then called Ancestry.com, MyFamily.com, and FamilyHistory.com.[18] Sales for 2002 were about US$62 million, and those for 2003 were US$99 million.[19]

In March 2004, the company opened a new call center in Provo as a result of outgrowing their old call center in Orem. The new call center accommodates about 700 agents at a time.[20] Heritage Makers was acquired by MyFamily.com in September 2005,[21] and sold a year later in August 2006.[citation needed] The Ancestry.ca website was opened on January 24, 2006.[22] In March 2006, MyFamily opened a new office in Bellevue, Washington as part of the MyFamily business unit.[23] Encounter Technologies was acquired in April 2006.[24]

The Generations Network logo (2007–2009)

On December 19, 2006, the company changed its name to "The Generations Network."[25] While the company had been offering free access to Ancestry.com at LDS Family History Centers, that service was terminated on March 17, 2007 because of the inability to reach a mutually agreeable licensing agreement between TGN and the LDS Church. Recently, however, service was reinstated at several of the larger Family History Centers.[26]

On July 6, 2009, the company changed its name to "Ancestry.com".[27]

In 2010, Ancestry sold its book publishing assets to Turner Publishing.[28] In the same year, the company discontinued the publication of Ancestry Magazine, after 25 years of publication[29] and Genealogical Computing.[30]

Ancestry.com became a publicly traded company on NASDAQ (symbol: ACOM) on November 5, 2009 with an initial public offering of 7.4 million shares priced at $13.50 per share underwritten by Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Jefferies & Company, Piper Jaffray, and BMO Capital Markets.[31][32]

The company continued its partnership with NBC for the second season of the Who Do You Think You Are? television series in 2011.[33]

Ancestry.com expanded its location to San Francisco, CA in 2010. Ancestry.com started its office in San Francisco with brand new engineering, product and marketing teams. San Francisco office is geared towards developing some of Ancestry.com cutting edge technology and services. Some of their recent initiative include iPhone, iPad application development.

Products and services

Ancestry.com is a subscription-based genealogy research website with over 5 billion records online.[34] The majority of records are from the United States, though records are being added for other countries, such as Canada, the UK, and European countries. Some records are free for anyone to access, but the majority are accessible only by paid subscription.

On June 22, 2006, Ancestry.com completed the indexing and scanning of all of the United States Federal Census records from 1790 through 1930.[35][36]

Ancestry.com was nominated for a 2007 CODiE Award in the "Best Online Consumer Information Service" category.[37]

Other sites

MyFamily.com allows members to create private family or group websites. Customization is limited. The 1998 version is still available, but no further enhancements are planned.[citation needed] After three years of a beta release 2.0, it is currently running the first non-beta release, "MyFamily.com 2.5.3". However, since the architecture was changed so radically from 2.0 to 2.5, internally at MyFamily all references to v2.5 are actually being called v3.0.[38] Users of version 3.0 (aka 2.5) have last seen an update to the code in February 2010, so since that date both v1.0 and v3.0 have been 'frozen'.[39] Migration services from v1.0 to v3.0 were stopped March 21, 2010, with no reason given.[40] Many features of the original version of the site have not yet been ported to this release, although new features have been introduced, such as video support, blog support, social group interface, and unlimited storage.[41] Also, in May 2010, MyFamily closed their Bellevue Washington development office, effectively letting their entire staff go since the offer to move to Provo Utah was not taken up by anyone. Since the loss of the Washington office, no new features have been added nor have any current problems/bugs been resolved. As of July 2010, free sites on v3.0 were discontinued.[39]

RootsWeb is a free genealogy community that uses online forums and mailing lists to help people research their family history. It was founded in 1993 by Brian Leverich and Karen Isaacson as the Roots Surname List, and quickly grew from there. It is the oldest free community genealogy research site.[42] RootsWeb was acquired by MyFamily.com in June 2000.[43] Users can also upload GEDCOM files of their information for others to search through the WorldConnect portion of the site. Trees uploaded to WorldConnect are searchable at both the RootsWeb and Ancestry websites.

Genealogy.com is a genealogy research website with some records not found on Ancestry.com, though the total number of records available is smaller. Genealogy.com was acquired from A&E Networks by MyFamily.com in 2003.[44]

LongLostPeople.com allows one to search public records for living people in the United States.[45]

Footnote.com, acquired in Fall 2010, has a large collection of documents dealing with the United States, including military records, city directories, and newspapers.[46] Footnote has been rebranded as Fold3.

Ancestry.com set up a site in early 2006 called the Family Heritage Project which allowed customers to order a personalized book containing census images, photos and other information on up to four generations of a particular family.[47] New orders were disallowed in December 2006, the book was made no longer available for order, and the site now redirects to the Ancestry.com store.[48]

Family Tree Maker (FTM) is advertised as "the #1 selling genealogy software".[52] As with other genealogy software, FTM allows the researcher to keep track of information collected during research and to create reports, charts, and books containing that information. The software was originally developed by Kenneth Hess of Banner Blue Software,[49] which was purchased by Brøderbund in 1995.[53] It passed through the hands of The Learning Company, Mattel, and others before coming under its current ownership.

A redesigned Family Tree Maker 2008 was released August 14, 2007.[54] The 2009 version of the program corrected some of the errors and omissions of its predecessor, and introduced a few new features.[citation needed] Family Tree Maker 2010 claims to further enhance the radical re-design and be more powerful and feature-packed with faster navigation and quicker load times.[55]

A version for the Mac was released in 1997, but due to low market demand was discontinued[56] for over a decade. A new version of Family Tree Maker for Mac was finally released November 4, 2010.[57]

Family Tree Maker Version 16 was awarded a CODiE Award in the "Best Consumer Productivity Solution" category in 2006.[58]
