Event Description
Our topic will be the new Ancestry offering Club 1890. If you are not familiar with the offering, here is some background information:
Ancestry’s Club 1890 is a newly introduced, invitation-only premium membership tier on Ancestry.com, branded as “the ultimate genealogy experience” for the company’s most passionate members. Launched in 2025 (with an announcement timed around the RootsTech genealogy conference), Club 1890 carries a staggering annual price tag of $5,000 USD. This exclusive club promises a suite of VIP services and personalized assistance far beyond Ancestry’s standard subscriptions.
Suggested discussion questions:
Will it disrupt the U.S. genealogy market or set new expectations for genealogy services?
How does it affect existing Ancestry subscription plans like the popular All-Access membership?
Why has Ancestry chosen to roll out this expensive program, and what does it reveal about their strategy?
How does this affect what APG members offer?
Can APG members offer competitive services?
