Closing the
Genealogy Gap
"I absolutely love knowing where I came from - and who preceded me and my loved ones. Ancestry.com has really sped up the search process. I've gathered more information in my short two years on Ancestry.com than my father did in his entire lifetime. I'm hooked and really looking forward to further unfolding this mystery of who I am."
-Sally Zinn Hoffman,
Omaha, NE
Proving the Stories True
"When I was growing up, my mother told me about my great-grandfather from Canada fighting in the Civil War. I heard that he was one of the soldiers at Ford's Theater when Lincoln was assassinated. I wanted to prove these things true. I couldn't have done all the research without Ancestry.com. I saved so much time finding historical records online."
-Mary Tyler, Northfield, NH
Creating a Timeless Tribute
"Thanks to Ancestry.com and RootsWeb.com, I've been able to locate missing relatives and most astonishingly, missing photos. In 2002, my husband's grandmother turned 100. As a present to her, I worked months putting a book together with hundreds of pictures, maps, census records, obituaries, land deeds, etc. I gave her the book and pointed out a picture of her great-grandparents, born in the 1830s. She said in her Czech accent, 'Child, where ever did you get this? These are my grandparents! They died when I was but a girl and no one has had a picture of them. Oh, how I miss them! This is the best birthday present yet.'"
-Cynthia Ourada, Prague, NE
A Wealth of Information
"It was unbelievable the amount of information I found about my family on Ancestry.com. I used Family Tree Maker® to organize all the data. I printed out the family history for everyone attending my family reunion. They were amazed. Without Ancestry.com, I would have very little information. Thanks for the wonderful service you provide."
-Janet Earl, Hickory Grove, SC
Playing Detective
"I've had so much fun being the detective in my family's mystery. I never get tired of searching through census records and marriage records. I have approximately 1,600 people in my family tree now and I would've never gotten past my 16 great-great-grandparents if it hadn't been for Ancestry.com. Thank you for bringing my family to my fingertips!"
-Kristi Stanfield, Fresno, CA
Something New
Every Day
"There's an unbelievable amount of information on Ancestry.com. Every day I discover something new on the site and lovingly place it into the family puzzle. It's so easy to find what I'm looking for and then extract it, arrange it, share it - and most of all, enjoy it."
-Wanda D. Warren, Milford, CT
Appreciating the
Historical Details
"I found quite a few family tree research web sites. Ancestory.com has been the best by far. You can view actual census sheets. You can see other family trees, newspapers, birth records and so much more. It's amazing."
-Suzanne Doss, West Hollywood, CA
An Ever-Expanding Collection
"Ancestry.com is absolutely my favorite Internet genealogy site. It has actual photos of census records, indexed, from even the first census taken in 1790. And every day Ancestry.com adds additional research to its incredible database."
