The magazine began as Ancestry Newsletter, a small, genealogy-industry newsletter in 1983, and became a four-color, 68-page, glossy print, bimonthly publication in 1994. After more than 25 years in print, the magazine was discontinued with the March/April 2010 issue.
In mid-2009, Ancestry magazine began making its past issues available online at Google Books and at its website Ancestrymagazine.com, which has remained active.
