The longer answer is no.
But the answer to why they wouold enter the medical research field is as obvious as the article makes it:

That is a bold faced lie. At the cost of $100.00/test, now on sale for $59.99, It is collecting personal data under the premise of a cute conversational piece. Akin to "What's your sign?"
They have admitted to the ownership.
Their excuse for medical research sounds noble, however history has proven that to be incorrect. Insurance anyone, with pre-existing conditions?
Whenever a corporation collects personal data, it is never for anyone's benefit.

The long or short answer is ...no. I don't think the Mormon church has any equity interest in Ancestry.com Their genealogy site is FamilySearch.org

So there.
None of your research verified ownership by the Mormon church, which is not surprising because they do not own it.

How kind of me, as you are having the last word.
However.......What is a subsidiary of a company?
A subsidiary, subsidiary company or daughter company is a company that is owned or controlled by another company, which is called the parent company, parent, or holding company. The subsidiary can be a company, corporation, or limited liability company. In some cases it is a government or state-owned enterprise.
Just a little business info.

The answer is no. Nothing in the article even implies ownership by the Mormon Church. The article says: 1) The company was founded by two Mormon buddies. If two Catholic buddies founded a company, would it even occur to you to say that the Catholic Church owns that company? 2) The two owners give perks to their fellow Mormons. They can if they want to, and doesn't imply church ownership. 3) They signed a deal with a non-profit that IS owned by the church. Nothing in the article suggests that the deal gave the church even a portion of the company.
The article might make an interesting topic. But you spoil that by making some delusion your whole point in posting it.
So what's left? You seem to be outraged that a private company hopes to make a profit by providing a service some people want. Shocking, huh?

What does that have to do with saying the Mormon Church owns it? Their intention are not about being noble, it’s about making money.

What does that have to do with saying the Mornin Church owns it? Their intention are not about being noble, it’s about making money. Some people think that I have a personal "anti-Mormon agenda". I do not. Yes it is about making money as a corporation's modus is to be in the "black". The collection of very personal data, @ $100.00 a clip just makes my teeth itch.

Just a little business info. You are giving me the last word because you probably did a little more research and discovered that I am correct. But then you are not giving me the last word, as you now ramble on about holding companies and subsidiaries, possibly to muddy the waters about what ownership means? The Mormon church is not a parent company holding Ancestry.com as a subsidiary.

However is there a cheaper, quicker way to find out hereditary data. It’s not a product for me but I assume it’s the best cheapest option if we include their competitors. |

The history of the ownership of Ancestry.com "In October 2012, Ancestry.com agreed to be acquired by a private equity group consisting of Permira Advisers LLP, members of Ancestry.com's management team, including CEO Tim Sullivan and CFO Howard Hochhauser, and Spectrum Equity, for $32 per share or around $1.6 billion.[30] At the same time, Ancestry.com purchased a photo digitization and sharing service called 1000Memories. On July 16, 2015, Ancestry launched AncestryHealth, and announced the appointment of Cathy A. Petti as its Chief Health Officer. In April 2016 GIC Private Limited (a sovereign wealth fund owned by the Government of Singapore) and Silver Lake (a private equity fund manager) bought equity stakes in Ancestry.com.[33] The estimated market value of Ancestry.com in 2017 was more than $3 billion." No equity interest by the Mormon church. Ownership of Ancestry.com |

Two quick things. First, since we know (from your OP) you're capable of answering with a short "yes" or "no", please answer this with a yes or no: Do you still stand by your assertion that Ancestry.com is owned by the Mormon Church? Since (according to Wired) "Every day, hundreds of companies you may not even know exist gather facts about you, some more intimate than others", why are you zeroing in on Ancestry.com instead creating a thread about the dangers of data collection? The fact that you picked a company with Mormon connections certainly supports the suspicion of "a personal anti-Mormon agenda" on your part. (Btw, nothing wrong with a personal agenda, as long as you don't try to conceal it.)

If it is then it would certainly help their programme to, unasked, baptise the dead into their church, which was given some negative prominence a while back.
