Frankly, our folks STILL attach a tremendous stigma to bearing children out of wedlock ... so there is no question where we are from. There is no need to search via an organization that has no business with our personal information. Just my humble opinion...

I found out I have twin sisters after taking an Ancestry DNA test. I also found out my half-brother was actually my full brother.

Horsecrap. The Mormonites have their own free version called familysearch.org

Yes, Ancestry.com is located in Utah on a former campus of the Word Perfect software people before Bill Gates ran them out of business. This is why former U.S. Senator Orin Hatch was always trying to invoke antitrust laws against Microsoft that went nowhere because Bill Gates owned more politicians.

And, yes, because they are located in Utah, they probably have a substantial number of Mormon employees.

Personally, I wish more churches owned businesses because maybe they wouldn't be so anti-capitalist.

They have a related site called AncientFaces.com. People post photos of their ancestors.

Maybe they should pay for their Swedish real estate instead.

They are closely related and were co-developed, per my understanding. Rumors claim the names come from the muslim meteor rock that’s worshipped at Mecca.

Blackrock vs Blackstone

Blackstone’s business is in real estate, private equity, hedge fund solutions, and credit and insurance. On the other hand, Blackrock’s business is in equity, fixed income, multi-asset, alternatives, cash management, and advisory.
