    Jennifer Jeffris said: The Blackstone Group is purchasing it...for 4.9 billion dollars. Take down your DNA because they may have plans to share that info.

    Paul said: Joe is right. This topic was raised as a simple inquiry about whether Ancestry has a new owner. Any further discussion (on DNA, etc.) is not relevant to the topic, or directly to FamilySearch, so any concerns need to be taken up with that company.
