External link template
[edit]I propose adding the {{finance links historical}} template in the internal links section; this is pretty standard to have on formerly public U.S. companies such as this one. Any strong objections to my doing so? UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:47, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hearing no response, I went ahead and added the template. UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Controversies
[edit]Two of these sections were here. The part about their ad is more recent. NYTimes not only ran it, but ran the topic more than once. Nuts240 (talk) 01:15, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
Use by police
[edit]It is a major omission to not mention anything about the use of the web site by law enforcement. Whatever your beliefs, it is in the public interest that the public should know that their dna can be compared to relatives through ancestry.com without a warrant. A huge number of such requests have been granted. This is worth at least some mention. 2600:6C55:40F0:89A0:4D08:B64:3276:B24 (talk) 23:58, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Net Income
[edit]It says that the company had a net income of $1 billion, but the link used does not show that information. In fact, Ancestry.com LLC stopped filing financial reports to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2019, as they are no longer obligated to file. Maybe there's other official sources out there with that information? Magnetizedlion27 (talk) 00:44, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
Updated record and DNA count
[edit]Based on the Ancestry.com corporate website public information, they now have 65 billion records and 27 million DNA test customers. https://www.ancestry.com/corporate/about-ancestry/company-facts Wikicrockett (talk) 00:44, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
