How it works

Trace your family story with a family tree—we make it easy.

  • Just start with
    what you know.

    Add a few family members to your tree, and we'll search for them in our record collections.

    Add a few
    family members.

  • Look for
    the leaf.

    The leaf is a hint—it means we've found something intriguing that may match your ancestor.

    Get an Ancestry hint.

  • View the hint, and save it to your tree.

    The hint could reveal a new name to search or even a new ancestor to add to your tree.

    Explore the hint to learn
    something new.

  • Watch your family story emerge.

    The more you add, the more hints you get. And gradually your family story becomes clearer.

    Watch your family
    story emerge.

After all, your family story is the story that leads to you.

But when Eric's AncestryDNA results said he was only 16%, Katherine took on the search and discovered an Eastern European ancestor he never knew he had.

Katherine and Eric used both AncestryDNA and a family tree to solve their mystery—how will you begin your journey?
