Ancestry is the world’s largest online family history resource, with 2.7 million paying subscribers creating over 60 million family trees. We collaborated with Ancestry to turn historical records and advanced search tools into interactive family trees, personal profiles, and authentic family stories.
Creating the vision for an entirely new, feature-packed way to learn about family history.
The magic of discovery is found in billions of historical documents, collected from government archives, historical societies, religious institutions, and private collectors. We improved indexing tools, giving old documents new life as they are digitized, catalogued, and seamlessly integrated into the Ancestry collection.
Movement through family trees, historical documents, ancestors, and individual profiles, is integrated into a custom breadcrumb style menu that supports complex relationships. A universally accessible side panel allows for document lead comparison between records and family trees.
With newly-designed personal profiles, subscribers create space within the family history framework. A DNA analysis links to the past, while a digital, living record enables future connections.
