Exploring Ancestry Networks: A New Way to Discover Your Ancestors’ Stories

I talk to Crista Cowan of Ancestry, looking at the exciting new Ancestry Networks feature that allows users to tell comprehensive stories of their ancestors’ lives, encompassing career, education, and more non-familial relationships. 

We discuss the releases’ initial phase for Ancestry Pro users, user feedback, and future developments. Additionally, we address various user questions about DNA matches, sorting records, full-text searches, and more.
