PROVO, Utah _ Paul B. Allen was there during the early days of Ancestry.com, when he helped launch a company to popularize family history research, and do it on a newfangled platform _ the internet.
Since the 1990s, he has watched Ancestry evolve from scrappy Utah start-up to Wall Street darling, adding one of world's fastest-growing consumer services, DNA testing, to its records-search capabilities.
He talks like a proud father, but he is also torn up by what his corporate offspring has become.
