Ancestry < ancestry > announced this morning that it is retiring several of its websites. The websites are * MyFamily < MyFamily > * MyCanvas < MyCanvas > * Genealogy < Genealogy > * Mundia < Mundia > Ancestry is trying to soften the blow of these shutdowns. Users will be told the retirement timeline and how to export their data. Of much greater portent, in my mind, is that Ancestry is eliminating their Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA tests. This is big. Im surprised Ancestry isnt more aware of how genealogists utilize DNA in indirect proofs. Apparently, they dont read the /National Genealogical Society/ < ngsgenealogy.org >/Quarterly/or other genealogical journals. This will cause a massive exodus of serious users of DNA to other companies, such as Family Tree DNA < https://familytreedna/ >.
