Convoluted and I constantly feel I am being fed material in drips to keep me subscribing. Also, while good on the British side of my family, material from my Indian side is non-existent

It was interesting

It was interesting, but I was expecting to know more. The results told where my Mexicans relatives come from, but not Spanish relatives, which was over a 40% of my ADN.

Please help me

Please help me. I was on the phone yesterday for quite a long time, and it's so confusing that he didn't know what to do either. All the family you have added to her is my father's- her husband. I'm trying to figure out how to edit it.

What it did was confirm a lot of things my mother had told me growing up about my past. For example, she said we had American Indian blood. Sure enough my third great grandmother was half Indian and an orphan and I could surmise from that how it all came about. Also I had heard about German ancestry and discovered that whole lineage down to my father. The clues you give are very helpful as well.

Do the fact that my father died when I was three years old, it was fascinating for me to see what DNA I received from him. Some of the traits were totally wrong such as caffeine intake. I live on coffee, and it told me that I am unlikely to be a coffee drinker. Wrong.

Tree Mix Up

I asked Leif some questions but then asked for an actual person, and was connected. Somehow my tree and my cousin's tree got integrated. They began working on them immediately.

Todo fue genial desde que recibí el kit, todo resultó muy fácil, yo ansiosa hasta que recibí el resultado, fue una experiencia maravillosa conocer de donde vienen mis ancestros, poderlos compartir y comparar con mis nietos que, hace un mes se lo realizaron.

When you sell a product so I can discover my ancestors then I should be able to access there records without further cost to me. The information I provided is not the only information that I am looking for.. I should be able to see the records in there entirety!!!!

Some things are good- some are not.

I like the information itself and how it identifies matches via DNA percentages and markers, but it forces you to invest and figure out the rest. Very much dislike the UI and the process of saving records to the/ a profile. The UI is cluttered and not streamlined. The information doesn’t link and flow in an intuitive way. The traits of DNA is a great idea with very poor execution and useless inconsequential information. The price is ridiculous and blocks the community’s that you intend to serve.

Ancestry.com made an error in listing one person in my family tree that I can prove, as being my paternal-maternal great grandmother. Ancestry.com has not and does not allow me to change that error. This is wrong and should not be allowed to happen.

family tie

I was disappointed that my 50 possible relatives were mostly 1 to 2 percent. I thought I would learn alot more. I would not recommend Ancestry to anyone.

Im a little bit confused, the DNA for my youngest son is exactly the same as my older sons and shows them as the same person or twin? How is that possible?

It's worth it

Don't waste your time or money with other companies offering DNA testing. Ancestry is great for anyone, wether looking to build a family tree, find family, or just passionately curious about where and who you came from, ancestry has it all. It doesn't cost an arm and leg, and it's very easy to use, the results are far from more detailed then other companies. I highly recommend using ancestry.

Ancestry analysis lacking in-depth regional info

After previously submitting and receiving results from the 23&me site, the Ancestry analysis was too broad. It did not break down the composition of my historical family background, but rather gave a generic analysis. I was very disappointed by their report and if I hadn't already received the 23&me results, I wouldn't realize how less complete this analysis was.
