What's your must-share story?
Tell us about that one story that's just too good to keep to yourself. If you made a discovery with Ancestry® that you couldn't wait to share with a family member, we want to hear about it.
And if you share your story with us, you could be part of an upcoming Ancestry® marketing campaign.
Not sure what to say or how to say it? Here are a few thought starters:
- Did you uncover a previously unknown connection to a historical event or place?
- Tell us a story you discovered about an ancestor who had a surprising job or fascinating life story.
- Share about a family member who made it to the big time - perhaps on stage, in business, or in some other way.
- Or maybe you finally tracked down that one record, name, photo, or clue that had eluded you for years?
• Keep it short - 2 minutes or less
• Use landscape (horizontal) if possible
• Center yourself in the camera shot
• Speak clearly, succinctly, and naturally
• Keep background noise to a minimum
• Don't add music or video effects - just tell us your story!
