Ancestry is committed to telling important stories from history. This ad was intended to represent one of those stories. We very much appreciate the feedback we have received and apologize for any offense that the ad may have caused. We are in the process of pulling the ad.

Not. Good. Enough. That’s a weasel apology. It’s offensive own up to it, admit it. Second don’t make this stuff in the first place. How are your processes so bad that no one looked at this and thought “You know that’s a teeny bit racist, tone deaf and offensive”?

Thank you for sharing... I fear I too may have missed the issue with this ad if it weren't for people speaking out... Still have much to learn but I'll be darned if I teach my children a false history for them to share down their family lines... Oh hellz no
