(I started this post earlier today and accidentally published it before I finished it...my blogging skills are a little rusty so please forgive me if you've read the partial post and thought "huh?" Although this one is similar, it's completely different...more or less)
Strange enough, but I'm actually ahead of the genealogy curve on this Ancestry.com name change thing - I've never called it anything else. It's possible I mentioned The Generations Network (TGN) a few times, but I never liked that name because it just didn't sound right...Neither did MyFamily.com. I never created a TGN blog category and when writing about the corporate entity it was always Ancestry.com. I'm not out in front on many genealogy things, but on this one I was way ahead of everyone - in fact I think I was ahead of the company itself. I always thought the natural name was Ancestry.com, but who am I?
It seems like only yesterday when the change to TGN announcement came out discussing their "powerful mission to connect families," and reflected on the new name as a better brand and description of their many internet properties. (When I started this post I linked to the original press release of a few years ago, but they've since taken it down) The new press release states what I thought was obvious a few years ago...Ancestry.com is a great brand name.
So as I'm delusionally relishing the fact I've always been right on this point, I have to mention I'm still surviving quite nicely without an Ancestry.com subscription.
