It really comes as no surprise that Ancestry.com, Inc. has filed for a $75,000,000 Initial Public Offering (I.P.O). 
They’re one of the few genealogy companies that has made a lot of money the last year or two. According to the SEC filing, they made $8,000,000 in profit on income of $108,000,000 in the last six months… Not a bad bit of business with the whole country mired in a recession.
