Do You Know Your Ancestry?

My last post in 2012 is about knowing one's ancestry. There is a website, ancestry.com, and you can learn about your ancestry at that URL. URL is uniform resource locator, or global web address (in layman's terms). My friend, Amit, mentioned that he has a friend that works at ancestry.com. Ancestry.com is the main topic of discussion today. Ancestry.com is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ stock exchange. The company's stock symbol is ACOM, and their headquarters is in Provo, UT. The company has a market cap. of over $1 billion, and the website is the world's largest resource for family history. The website is known for being a great portal for genealogy. Many of my friends would mention that my family history traces back to India. They are correct, but RSG wishes it was from Italy. You know the ganpuleone family! Anyways, let's get back to the topic at hand. When Rahul searched for his parents & family history on ancestry.com, his parents and other pertinent information showed up. It was incredible to see how accurate ancestry.com is. The family tree was displayed, and it was very correct. In closing, ancestry.com is a great website for learning about genealogy. Genealogy is an account of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or from older forms. For next time, Rahul hopes that you can learn more about your ancestry in 2013. Because at the end of a long day, it is best to remember what you learned. The more you learn, the more knowledge you gain. True words, indeed!
