</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation&#146;s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities,
including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act. The Registrant&#146;s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of its directors,
officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, and the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of
its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law. In addition, the Registrant has approved
entry into indemnification
agreements with its directors and certain officers containing provisions which may be in some
respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require the Registrant to indemnify its
directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as
directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to
which they could be indemnified.

post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed

under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

PART I
The documents containing the information specified by Part I, Items 1 and 2, of Form S-8 have
been or will be delivered to participants in the plans covered by this Registration Statement, as
specified in Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the
instructions to Form S-8. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission and the
instructions to Form S-8, such documents are not being filed with the Commission either as part of
the Registration Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 under
the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
Ancestry.com Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference in this Registration
Statement the following documents previously filed with the Commission:
(a) The Registrant's prospectus, dated November 4, 2009, filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in connection with the Registrant's Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (File No. 333-160986) that contains audited financial statements for the latest fiscal
year;
(b) The description of the Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement
on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on November 2, 2009, pursuant to Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") including any amendment or report
filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act subsequent to the effective date of this Registration Statement and prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement indicating that all securities
offered hereby have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. In no event, however, will any information that the Registrant discloses under Item
2.02 or 7.01 of any Current Report on Form 8-K that the Registrant may from time to time furnish to
the Commission be incorporated by reference into, or otherwise become a part of, this Registration
Statement.
Any statement contained in this Registration Statement or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of
this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other
subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein is
inconsistent with or modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Registration Statement, except as so
modified or superseded.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities,
including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act. The Registrant's
amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of its directors,
officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, and the Registrant's amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of
its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law. In addition, the Registrant has approved
entry into indemnification
agreements with its directors and certain officers containing provisions which may be in some
respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require the Registrant to indemnify its
directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as
directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to
which they could be indemnified.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
4
Table of Contents
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
