In addition to personal accounts, Ancestry is also available to libraries, schools, and other organizations through products designed for shared use.

Because these products are designed for shared use, some features of personal Ancestry accounts are not available: 

• Building and saving family trees
• Ancestry Hints
• AncestryDNA
• Member Search
• Member profiles
• Sending and receiving messages

Access to records varies by product.
