Exhibit 99.2

All,

I’m very pleased to share with all of you some exciting Ancestry.com news.

Today, we are announcing that we have entered into an agreement with Permira, a leading European private equity firm with global reach, for Permira to acquire all the outstanding shares of Ancestry.com, Inc. for $32.00 per share in a cash transaction. Spectrum Equity, who has backed our company for over ten years and is currently our largest shareholder, will remain a substantial investor in the company. I will also note that I am keeping a significant majority of my own ownership in Ancestry.com invested in our company, as will CFO and COO Howard Hochhauser. And, as we will explain in coming days and weeks, we will be providing a way for many employees to stay invested in our company alongside Permira, Spectrum, and the management team.

We think this is a great outcome for our stockholders, employees, and subscribers, and we think it will only enhance our ability to continue investing in our great company. In Permira, we will have a world-class equity partner with great experience in technology, media and the internet. Permira shares our vision that family history remains a large and still untapped market, and they are excited about helping us with our strategy to invest in new technologies and products, bringing even more content online for our subscribers, building a great global brand, and expanding into new international markets. In Permira, we will have a superb partner for our next stage of growth as a company.

So, what’s going to change? Well, really not that much…

Other than a change in the capital and ownership structure of the business, we do not anticipate any significant changes in our strategy, mission, and organization. We’ll continue to run the business as we have in the past — striving to deliver on our mission to help everyone discover, preserve, and share their family history. And we will remain focused on attracting, retaining, and rewarding great talent at our company. There is so much more to do to further transform family history, and I have never been more personally excited about our ability to do great things together.

Later this morning, everyone will be invited to participate, either in person or via webcast, in an impromptu company meeting. Howard and I will be in the Shaky Leaf Café (it will be great to test the standing room capacity!), but we will broadcast this to San Francisco. I also encourage our other offices to login remotely via the webcast. It will be a good opportunity for us to provide a little more detail about what happens next and answer as many questions as we can about the next stage of our growth as a company.

Our company has thrived through many different phases and eras, and I’m very confident that our brightest days are still ahead. Together, we have built a great company that delivers amazing joy, satisfaction, and discovery to millions of people around the world. Everyone at Ancestry.com should be very proud of we’ve accomplished together. I remain incredibly proud and honored to be part of this company.

See you later this morning.

Tim
