Member Success Stories

"My great-grandfather, J.C. Redfield, and his wife, Hannah Nichols, left Ohio in the late 1850s to become among the many Kansas pioneers. My search for his life's story has been highly successful. In addition to finding obituaries for both grandparents, my grandfather was also found in a genealogical book, History of the Redfield Family in the U.S., 1860." -- R. Downing

"I was one of the lucky adoptees who had a name to start with, but had no experience or way to start looking. I finally decided to join Ancestry and get down to business, where I found the information I needed, first in the census of 1930, and then in the historical newspapers. I am thankful my mother lived in a rural area where the little newspapers recorded everyone's visits to relatives and friends." -- S. Moore
