San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/12/2014 -- TheBestCompanys.com (TBC) genealogy vertical is the newest addition to the TBC queue of companies. To date, this new vertical is one of 49 verticals the TBC team has reviewed.

This genealogy vertical provides a way for consumers to connect with their ancestors. Currently, the TBC team has reviewed 9 genealogy companies with plans to add more.

“Online genealogy is an up and coming industry,” TBC Content Manager Kate Ward said. “People are interested in connecting with past relatives and TBC provides a way for them to compare companies to find what best fits their needs.”

The TBC uses their own expert criterion, based on industry features, to rank the companies. The companies were ranked on the following:

- Price
- Tutorials
- Connecting Features
- Saving Features
- Document and Photo Sharing Features
- Time in Business
- Better Business Bureau Rating

This criterion, combined with real user reviews and the TBC teams’ expert criteria, provides consumers with honest company profiles. Consumers are able to make informed decisions based on the TBC ranking and real user scores.

Consumer reviews are not only encouraged, they are an essential part of TheBestCompanys.com. The TBC team believes the more user comments, the more credible company profile rankings are. The consumers’ voice is a major contributing factor to the TBC vision.

“We want consumers to make confident choices,” Ward said. “That’s why we constantly update our criterion and company profiles. As the industry changes, we change with it to stay relevant.”

The TBC team is constantly making updates and tweaking percentage points to stay on top of the industry. The company profiles are updated to help consumers as the industry changes. It is important to have accurate information represented on the TBC site.

TheBestCompanys.com reviewed genealogy companies to help consumers connect with their ancestors. The reviews help dictate which companies simplify genealogy and make it easy-to-use for anyone.

Currently, the top three genealogy companies include Ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com, and FamilySearch.org.
