In 1990, Paul Allen (not to be confused with Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen) and Dan Taggart, two Brigham Young University (BYU) graduates, founded Infobases and began offering LDS (Latter-day Saints — Mormon) publications on floppy disks. Allen's brother Curt and his brother-in-law, Brad Pelo, had founded Folio Corporation, where Paul Allen had worked in 1988. Infobases chose to use the Folio infobase technology which Allen was familiar with as the basis for their products.

The first products were floppy disks and compact disks sold from the back seat of their car. In 1994 Infobases was named among Inc. magazine’s 500 fastest-growing companies. Their first offering on CD was the LDS Collectors Edition, released in April, 1995, selling for $299.95, which was offered in an on-line version in August 1995.

On January 1, 1997, Infobases' parent company, Western Standard Publishing, purchased Ancestry, Inc.
