"The new features on Ancestry.com are gaining incredible momentum, and our users are uploading photos at an unbelievable rate, demonstrating the power of online family history collaboration," said Tim Sullivan, CEO of The Generations Network, parent company of Ancestry.com. "We couldn't be more pleased that so many people are preserving and safeguarding these priceless, personal records by uploading and sharing them through Ancestry.com. While we continue to grow the world's largest online collection of family history documents by acquiring, digitizing and indexing original source documents, we're even more excited by the scope and potential of the personal content now coming from individual families all over the world. Every single one of these 1 million photographs is a precious memory now preserved for future generations and sharable with invited family members, as well as distant cousins yet to be discovered through Ancestry.com."
