News broke today that MyHeritage is to be acquired by the private equity company Francisco Partners. This is likely to result in new investment in the company so that they can expand their market share. Hopefully genealogists will benefit from the investment and we will eventually see the introduction of lots of new features and products.
You can read more about the acquisition in this article from Business Wire.
There is additional information in this article from TechCrunch.
