About Ancestry.com

The Ancestry.com global network of websites in nine countries is the world’s largest online family history resource. With over one million members, Ancestry.com also has the world’s largest online family history community. Our mission is to help everyone discover, preserve and share their family history.

Our members recognise that family history is a rewarding hobby that can bring many generations of one family together to share and preserve its unique stories, and so over the years we have had many requests from them asking for help to introduce family history to the younger generations of their family.

My Place In History is our answer - an educational program designed by teachers, for teachers, which enables them through a series of both traditional and interactive resources to bring history to life through every child’s unique perspective – their family.

At the right of this page you will find links through to the Media Centres of the Ancestry.com websites, which contain general information on who we are, including company information, our contact details and all the latest Ancestry.com press releases by country.
