Ancestry
You've got questions. We've got ancestors.
Ancestry is a genealogy and family history platform that lets users build family trees and explore historical records, photos, and personal stories. The platform also offers DNA testing kits that analyze genetic origins across thousands of locations worldwide and match users with relatives. Members can combine family tree research with DNA insights to get a comprehensive picture of their heritage.
Users subscribe to access a vast database of historical records and family tree tools, and can optionally purchase a DNA kit that analyzes a saliva sample to reveal ethnic origins and genetic matches.
