It is very difficult to rank the size of genealogy companies because there is no real category in the business world for genealogy. In a realsense, the genealogy companies are all information and servicecompanies. They either sell a service, such as printing charts, orinformation, like databases of source documents and indexes. AlthoughAncestry.com is clearly the leader, second place is a little moreproblematical since Ancestry.com has several large sub-brand names suchas genealogy.com, their software program Family Tree Maker, andRootsweb.
