HistoryMakers (Recognition Program)
There is definitely an ‘Ancestry way‘ of doing things, and we’re proud of that. This spirit is captured in our culture statement:
Our passion for our customers drives progress, our curiosity sparks innovation, and respect for every story guides us. We elevate diverse voices, collaborate with candor and clarity, and act decisively. As we elevate others, we want to celebrate those who lead the way. When recognizing a standout colleague with points, think about how their actions bring these values to life and move us forward.
Recognition Program
HistoryMakers has two kinds of recognition—one with points to reward standout colleagues, and one without points to recognize those small but wonderful acts we see every day. Both types of recognition are shared on the HistoryMakers site, because recognition is more powerful when it’s public.

Recognize an exceptional colleague who lives by our values:
Passion
We’re unapologetic about our enthusiasm for family history and our commitment to make it accessible to all.
Curiosity
We encourage exploration, failing fast, and thoughtfully employing new tools and resources.
Respect and Candor
We value different opinions and provide clear and actionable feedback with care and consideration for one another and the mission we collectively share.
Collaboration
We share ideas, skills, and a belief that different opinions, lived experiences, and modes of thinking help us achieve our mission.

Recognize a colleague who has done something small but wonderful. Shout Outs don’t come with points. They’re just a fun way to publicly recognize someone who’s gone above and beyond.
