PROVO, Utah, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Ancestry.com, the world's largest online family history resource, today announced that more than 1 million online family trees have been created since the site's new tree-building and sharing features launched in late July 2006. In building family trees, users have added an estimated 150 million names, uploaded 400,000 photos and attached 10 million family history documents directly from Ancestry.com's 23,000 historical records collections.
Built with family collaboration in mind, the tree-building tools on Ancestry.com allow family members to work together on their family trees, whether living in the same house or on the other side of the world. Families can add their ancestors' names, photos, life stories and much more to a shared family tree -- all for free.
In addition to the impressive number of family trees which have been created, users are also adding names, photos and documents at impressive rates, as a result of the site's easy-to-use tools and an increasing worldwide interest in family history. Users in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and Australia are creating and sharing their family trees with Ancestry.com's advanced tree-building and collaborative tools.
"The sheer number of family trees created in such a short time demonstrates the collaborative power of the Internet to allow families, regardless of location, to discover their heritage together," said Tim Sullivan, CEO of The Generations Network, parent company of Ancestry.com.
