I didn't realize how young Ancestry really is. Amazing how helpful it has been for many a searchers.
This is a great series! I was surprised at how small the acquisition team is. They all must work very hard.
People can share and learn about different types of stories with surprises. The most important of story into the series.
I'm really appreciating this series and your smile makes it feel like it's a video call with a friend! 🙂
I love hearing that. Thank you! 😊
Fascinating. What a lot of work to be adding to and updating constantly. Commenting here is a great way to say Thank You All!!
Great video. It’s very interesting how Ancestry works and bring us all that information to create our family tree.
We're glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah! Thank you so much for answering my question.
You're welcome!
How have I missed your videos!! Heck just the title including (bare foot) got me. Lol I’ve been doing this since I was about 17 and I’m 65 now. Genealogy is my full time love and if only I could do it full time. Yet, I’m a recent widow and a 24/7 caregiver for a daughter with a brain injury and 2 special needs grandchildren. So lots of responsibility. But that’s ok. Every minute I get is on my family history. I also enjoy helping others learn to do it. I want to know who my family was. I have 12 3” binders of just family group sheets. I am the keeper of physical family records. So I also have many tubs of personal to different family members keepsakes. You talk about doing it in your Jammie’s…. I’ve been known to take my phone to the tub and do searches and send it to my air printer! Lol anyway no clue how I’ve missed you so I’m subscribing. Even my 18 yr old grandson was shocked I have the original copies of records like marriage etc., as far back as the early 1800’s. And a couple from the 1700’s. Bring a recent widow I am thankful I’m a member of the LDS church or I could not afford this.
And my dream is that y’all had more from small , tiny cities in Oklahoma! Lol
I am so glad you found us, Beverly.
Very informative. If one wants to volunteer to have their middle and high school yearbooks scanned, what is the process?
Kristin this family tree 🌳has a lot more stories with families members that people wanted to share.
Thank you for the interview. It answered some of my questions about acquistions.
Great to hear!
Thanks for all you both do so we can "climb our trees"
You are so welcome. 😊
Great video! Love learning new things about Ancestry.
So pleased to hear. 😊
Wow! It's seems so long ago that computers changed everything but really it's not that long ago. So many things are online now. I'm old I remember microfish. lol
It's crazy, isn't it.
I felt very compelled to look for info for ancestry on you tube.
I had no idea you guys had a you tube!
As soon as Quinton started speaking I felt like there would be some reference to The Netherlands.
Mind. BLOWN!
So glad you found us.
So interesting- enjoyed the interview
Love these!
Great to hear!
Quentin, have a little chat with the Owen County Historical Society in Spencer, Indiana. We need those records! (the records are moldering in a basement and need to be scanned before they are gone)
Thank you for sharing!
The reading of important things ✨
Are there any plans to include many more Spanish records, particularly the Canary Islands? There was a lot of emigration from there to the US
Also, what about Portuguese, Angolan and Mozambique records?
Thank you.
Great question. I have Canarian through Cajun line and i would love more info!
true, this is so cool. I love ancestry, find A Grave, Newspapers, and Famous Kins There is another related to Famous I can't remember lol
that was very interesting thank you ... imaging Ancestry as a company with only 11 staff is almost impossible! (responding to a part of the video where they are talking about staff levels during their very early days,)
The Content Acquisition team only has about 11 employees. The company has more than 1400 employees.
I think they have a lot more employees. Just these 11? Are for acquisition.
@@beverlystufflebeam5731 this was many many years ago as the video explained
I was surprised to see pictures of peoples birth certificates in the photos sections on a genealogy website. Are there rules about what can be uploaded. Thanks
Who's in charge of getting the Reference panels? How do They decide which area in a country to get Samples from people?
That's a great question, Donnell. I will add it to my list for my episodes with the DNA team.
The family tree has been for people created their stories.
Do ancestry has records from german registry offices? Some of my ancestors where not in the church/religious. You can use matriculation lists of universities too.
Hi there S.F., thanks so much for stopping by. We do have a number of German record collections on Ancestry which our members can use in their research. We have popped a link below to a list of these should you wish to take a look and see if these would be of any help to you:

We hope this helps, good luck in your research!
Why can't I find some of my family on the 1860 and 1930, 1940 census'? Im looking for family in various parts of Texas amd cannot find them.
Do a search here on the TH-cam channel for "Finding Missing People in the Census." I've got a whole video with search tips and tricks.
What is the history of the thrulines and how did you decide how it would work?
Would love to know more also.
Thrulines is not working for me because some people have the wrong Christian names or have totally the wrong names. These incorrect entries come up as potential ancestors and will not allow me to agree further ancestors. A member of Ancestry has suggested I contact the people with the incorrect entries but they do not change the mistakes. There aught to be a way of my entering the correct information. I have confidence in the dna matches but people just copies trees without checking the facts.
would like to see more done w Hispanic people. I live somewhere predominately Hispanic & my partner is Hispanic.
Are there records from a specific country that you are interested in?
Great Video....Any news of you looking at your Shipman . I don't see anything that you have done.
I've been at a family reunion this week so haven't had a chance to look at your message yet. Will try to get to it this coming week.
@@CristaCowan Thanks
Why, when indexing will & probate records, are slaves not treated as people? They are never tagged. I am specifically referring to wills that left slaves to family members. I think Ancestry should index the names and ages of slaves when available, instead of allowing them to be lost in history.
Ancestry has indexed the names of enslaved people in the Wills and Probates collections on the site.
Crista sometimes!
Hi.
Love the videos.
Not related to the video but I have a few people in my tree who have there birth name which they obviously use for everything official, but everyday use another name, which I have added as an alternate name . Can Ancestry change the tree search to include those names?
Hi Vickilee, thank you for the feedback. We will pass it on to the proper teams.
What would it take for Ancestry to grow stronger in its database for Colombia?
Ancestry has about 2.5 million records for Colombia so far. If you've got contacts to archives there, please send their information along per the email address Quinton shared in the video.
Kristin how can tell their own personal stories in lives. They also share with Kristin and their children.
Thank you for sharing with us!
Hi,my mom told me on her death bed she didn't know who my father was .I always had a name for whom I thought he was ,but was told he was dead , but she told me she dident know think it was him ,so she didn't know who he was . I have been an ancestry member since 2018 and although I have been able to do a tree on mom's side I don't know how to find my real dad . I'm just lost and don't know what to do now .
Hi Jeanne - Have you taken an AncestryDNA test?
My concern is that there are family trees posted on Ancestry that have incorrect information. The only person who can fix it is the person who posted it. But if someone is searching for that family and sees the incorrect information, they may think it's not their family. This is especially harmful to Jewish families who are scattered, and still trying to find each other. And especially difficult for Eastern European Jewish families as there were few records to start with, we're up against endogamy, so much of our population, especially elders, who held the history are gone, and the Nazis made a point of destroying our records. There are inaccuracies posted about my family in a family tree posted on Ancestry. The person who posted it is convince it's correct. The records from the European town say otherwise, but this person, who said they'd correct it hasn't. So, inaccuracy stands. Others are taking it as true and copying it and spreading it further. And those inaccuracies have implications that are hurtful. Take what you see at Ancestry with a good grain of salt.
The best way to combat inaccurate information (which has always existed) is to publish the correct information as publicly and widely as possible.
PLEASE TELL ME You don't sell my DNA 😭

🙏🏻🕊 It’s a fear I have to fight also. I’m trusting you Ancestry because you do everything else so well! And I trust Crista 😁
I won't order from you though. Because it's expensive and the website doesn't have my language.
Need more Jewish info. Please start talking to Rabbis and Synagogues!!
Hello - Ancestry has a very large (if not the largest) collection of Jewish records online. You can see the full list here (if you scroll past the search form): www.ancestry.com/search/categories/jewish/
