I was listening to the radio today and I heard a story about a women who used FaceBook to find her estranged brother that she hadn’t been in contact with for thirty years. This got me thinking about family members that you have lost contact with or even family members that you have never met but no they exist.

So, I headed over to FaceBook to have a look at whether any of the major ancestry web sites have an application for FaceBook. The only one I found (and the only one I really expected too find) was ancestry.com. I took a look and it doesn’t appear as if there isn’t much activity. Although, there appears to be no promotional elements of their web site on FaceBook, the application button directs you to their web site. So in affect, there is no application. This is a little disappointing from a major player in this field.
