Ancestry.com

Everything

Signed up for an account, and then bombarded with spam calls & messages to my mobile number, confident this is from adding my number to ancestry.com. Avoid, wouldn’t advise giving them your details.

I'm unsubscribing, I feel as if the LDS is salivating over personal info so they can suck me into their world, I was married to one & lived in Utah, so no thanks, it's not for me. Bye

Very disappointed.

I do not understand why do I need to pay extra to splim among my parents

I have only just started getting my head around your site so I am in NO position to write you a review, certainly NOT in the near future. I am 79, disabled and have difficulty finding my way around the house, never mind your website details. It seems the norm now to pester people for reviews when they have not yet got their feet under the table ............. A good way to put people off continuing to search if constant pestering continues ....... I am sure you have heard this before? If so, do something about it and leave people alone! If I find that I am related to God, you will be the first to know, believe me! Janet S. MacLellan (Mrs.)

It is amazing and interesting results. I really appreciate the dedication and work put into ancestry. The result was very fast I really appreciate that ancestry will always keep me updated on the status and progress of NY DNA.

This experience has been at best, uneven. On my mother's side there mistakes given by an unknown party. It seems that one cannot correct them without upgrading the account. On my father's side I believe(and I'm doing more research to confirm) that there were two people of the same name living at the same time but in different parts of the country. So, yes, you gave me a place to work from and it will be a struggle to unwind the past.

My mother is Italian/ Irish/ American Indian. None of those nationalities were mentioned. My father is French & German. German showed up but only %4 French. : ( Very unhappy with the results. I knew both my maternal and paternal grandparents so I know their stories and nationalities.

No muss, no fuss. Sent in my DNA test and was kept updated every step of the way. Have already referred Ancestry to several friends/family.

Ancestry har vänt på DNA resultatet gällande "Ditt ursprung per förälder". Under "Härkomstregioner" är det rätt, men under "Härkomstgrupper" visas min far härstamma från trakterna i Småland där min mor kommer ifrån. Far kommer från Skåne och har inga anor i Småland. "Matchningarna" är också omkastade, så att min mors släktingar visas som min fars. Vidare blir det också omkastat under "Gemensamma härkomstgrupper" Jag har mailat Ancestry ett flertal gånger med skärmdumpar och förklaring. De svarar konstigt som att det ska vara så här. Sista mailet har de inte svarat på alls trots att veckor har passerat. Tycker deras support är usel. Betalar för detta och anser att de borde rätta till felen.

Your site is confusing and took a long time to navigate just to get simple basic information.

Je suis profondément déçue et en colère par Ancestry. Cette plateforme se présente comme un moyen de "retrouver ses racines", mais dans les faits, elle réduit l'identité à des catégories génétiques centrées sur l’Europe, invisibilisant (encore une fois) les peuples autochtones des Amériques. Comment est-il possible qu’une entreprise fondée en Amérique du Nord ignore l’histoire et les racines des Premiers Peuples qui habitaient ce continent bien avant l’arrivée des Européens? La majorité des tests ne reconnaissent même pas les origines autochtones avec précision et lorsqu’ils le font, c’est par des catégories floues, imprécises, parfois offensantes. C’est non seulement une erreur scientifique, mais aussi une violence symbolique. Car effacer les peuples autochtones de la généalogie moderne, c’est continuer le projet colonial sous un vernis technologique. À tous ceux et celles qui ont des racines autochtones, ou qui cherchent à comprendre le territoire sur lequel ils vivent, vous ne trouverez pas de vérité ici, seulement une cartographie biaisée du monde, vue à travers une lentille eurocentrée. Ancestry doit rendre des comptes, diversifier ses bases de données, collaborer avec les nations autochtones de manière respectueuse ou arrêter de prétendre qu’elle aide les gens à "retrouver leurs origines".

the good: It was interesting to see the many components of my genealogical ancestry. Was even surprised by a couple of them. the not so good: The constant request for monthly monies if I want to delve any deeper.

Scam site, $25 cancellation, and you have to go through a 3-step process to cancel.

I found my biological aunts uncles cousins as well as my mother and by Half sisters.

easy to understand

Only provide basic information and everything else they want you to physically input. Money grab

EVERYTIME I LEAVE MY FAMILY TREE, THEN GO BACK I HAVE TO RECLICK EVERYONE TO KEEP GOING BACK TO ANCESTORS. THAT'S A REAL PAIN.

I learned where I came from, which is something I have been thinking about forever. Now I know the roots of my other side after not having known any of them The company kept me informed each step of the way, as they analyzed my DNA sample It was great to hear almost daily what was happening and when I would get the results.
