We strive to make our service valuable to individuals ranging from the most committed family historians to those taking their first steps towards satisfying their curiosity about their family stories. The foundation of our service is an extensive collection of over 8 billion historical records that we have digitized, indexed and put online over the past 15 years. We have developed and acquired efficient and proprietary systems for digitizing handwritten historical documents, and we have established relationships with national, state and local government archives, historical societies, religious institutions and private collectors of historical content around the world. Our subscribers use our proprietary Web-based services and content collection to research their family histories, build their family trees, collaborate with other subscribers, upload their own records and publish and share their stories. Registered users have uploaded over 95 million pieces of content, such as photographs and scanned documents. This growing pool of user-generated content adds color and context to the family histories assembled from the institutional content available through our Web-based services.
