Ancestry.com completes acquisition of Genline.se

Late this afternoon, MarketWatch carried a press release showing that Ancestry.com has completed the acquisition of the large Swedish research website Genline.se. I am speculating that this will soon give Ancestry World Deluxe subscribers access to "26 million pages of digitized Swedish church records spanning more than 400 years from the 17th to the 20th century." I would think there will be some big announcements at the Federation of Genealogical Societies annual conference next month in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Ancestry.com to acquire Genline.se

My Google News page just had this link to a press release from MarketWatch.com. Ancestry.com is poised to acquire Genline.se. This is a website for those researching Swedish ancestry.

As the article states, "Genline currently has more than 17,000 paying members with access to 26 million pages of digitized Swedish church records spanning more than 400 years from the 16th to the 20th century."
