Why was Ancestry discontinued?
To do this, we wanted to deepen our focus on family history, including AncestryDNA®, which remains an important part of our commitment to family history. As we carefully considered how to maximize the impact we hope to make, we made the difficult decision in the winter of 2020 to discontinue AncestryHealth®.
