User Reviews for AncestryDNA: Genetic Testing

Read this if you have complaints about accuracy!!!

People! Even if you have ancestors with a certain ethnic make-up it DOES NOT necessarily mean that you will inherit those specific genes!!!! If your Mom is fifty percent German and fifty percent Irish and your Father is fifty percent Swedish and fifty percent Middle Eastern it does not necessarily mean that you will be twenty five percent German, twenty five percent Irish, twenty five percent Swedish, and twenty five percent Middle Eastern! You could receive results that you are fifty percent German, thirty five percent Swedish, and fifteen percent Middle Eastern. This test measures YOUR genetics, not your Great Aunt Ednas’. And yes if you take the test more than once you may happen to get a variation of like, one percent, but duh! Not every cells DNA in your entire mouth is going to be the perfectly exact same, that’s just not how science works! There’s always an exception people!

My Amazing Ancestry Results

Getting my ancestry results back was so exciting and it was my first time taking an ancestry DNA test. The reason I decided to do this because I wanted to find out where my ancestors came from and find out my characteristics. The results came back and a huge portion of my DNA comes from Western, Northern, and even some parts of Eastern Africa which I thought was cool! But the surprising results was that I’m 1% Native American and 7% Scottish which was a huge surprise for me. I had no idea! Ancestry DNA does an amazing job showing the regions on the map as of where your ancestors may have came from, and what I like as well is that it shows who you are related to. It shows who you have a common DNA with and I have so many family members all over the U.S. AncestryDNA is amazing and I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone! Five Star Baby!

After 50 years I was united with my birth family

Thank you ancestry DNA I was given up for adoption by my birth mother who I met at age 21.I was given a name and a college that my said to be biological father attended and that was all the information that I had .I waited over 50 years to build The courage to find out about my biological father and his Family.. thanks to ancestry DNA I saw many matches of relatives including a first and second cousins we shared communications and confirmed that we were family and that was indeed my father. I was completely amazed and in tears to see so many family members over 500 or so for someone that never knew her biological father‘s family I am so thankful to God and ancestry DNA for making this miracle happen. I must say my father passed two years ago but I now share the love of all my aunts and uncles and so many cousins. I have beautiful pictures of the Reunion I would love to share with ancestry. Thank you ancestry DNA for making this miracle possible Sandra Stanfield

Great and Interesting Service

Had a great interest in using ancestry ever since I was a child once I learned half my family was wiped out in the holocaust, which left many gaps in my lineage and family tree knowledge. However, I went into this fully prepared that there probably wouldn’t be any records remaining due to the nazis trying to cover up the atrocities. And I was right in that aspect. It’s not ancestry’s fault for that at all, even if I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t find any leads. I did find a ton of information and interesting records dating back to the 1690’s on my fathers side though as well as the estimated percentages of my ethnic backgrounds. It’s a truly fascinating process and if you’re at all into family history or genealogy this is a must have service.

A long time coming!

Recently I have had the fortune to have two members of Ancestry reach out to me. They were aware of DNA that had a high probability that would lead me on a path of discovery. Discovery, well that’s an understatement. It turns out that we are close relatives one being a first cousin & the other a niece. You see I’ve been an Ancestry member with the goal of identifying my biological father for several years & I hit a gold mine. Not only did I find out who my father was but also discovered a group of people that are my family. With a few text messages & face time I realized that I was accepted with open arms & hearts . I’m a fan of the Ancestry TV show & I have enjoyed seeing people find their ancestors & the eye opening revelations and heart felt reactions . I was always hopeful that one day that it would be my turn them bang it happened. Thanks to this wonderful program it has great value, priceless.

Stick with the DNA don’t download the app

Honestly I have been a fan of ancestry for years I even gave my family DNA kits for Christmas a couple years back because I am truly interested in family history. The DNA side is fantastic but the tree and subscription could use a lot of work at least when it comes to customer service. I had paid for a traveler subscription for eight dollars a month and after two days of the subscription I was no longer able to access documents so I reached out to ancestry for troubleshooting they basically told me to log out of the app and re-download it which I did it still doesn’t work I am unable to access any documents. So then after speaking with them I asked about a refund if I was unable to access the services they were providing they told me that is not possible. I honestly don’t understand charging someone for service they are unable to use when they reach out to you for help. Like I said I believe in what they’re doing and I love the DNA side of the services however when app isn’t functioning and you can’t access your subscription that you paid for and you can’t fix it or reimburse the customer that’s when things get a bit shady.

DNA

I purchased a DNA kit for myself at Christmas 2019 and had the results within about 5 weeks. I was amazed at the results. I purchased kits for my stepdaughter, wife and mother in law. The kits were all sent off around May 10, 2020 and my step daughter got her results within a month. It’s been close to 2 months and the DNA progress isn’t really moving. If 3 were sent in the same day don’t expect to get results anytime soon on some. I purchased another kit for my mom and it has been “processing” since May 27 and today is June 18. I watched the videos and once the kit is “processed” machines and computers pretty much do the rest. Not sure why the business is running so far behind but I would like to know. I was thinking about 4 stars at first but...I also found out that if you are a Mormon you get free access to the site, everyone else has to pay. Ancestory, DNA, and findagrave are all ran by the same company and they cater to LDS.

App dose not work!

My spouse and I both are waiting for the results of our DNA test. We have been receiving notifications through email on the progress of our results however according to the app they haven’t even received our kits back at this time. When attempting to contact them the computer tries to guess the issue based off key words and then gives you links that it thinks may be helpful. You are given the option to escalate your questions which may possibly get you to a real person. The first time I did not and was told someone would email me. No surprise, I didn’t receive the email. I contacted them again and went through the whole process again of the computer’s wrong guess work. The second time I actually reached Barbara who didn’t pay attention to the actual issue. When I finally got her to understand that there was a problem with the app her resolution was for me to delete the app and wait for it to reinstall. Well, I have no problem in deleting the app but once deleted I will not reinstall it.

Short Wait

I am super happy with the wait time on this! I have not gotten my results yet, but only has taken about two weeks for the final product! It took four days to be shipped from my house to their lab. It went from their lab to sample being processed in two days. From the DNA being processed, it took to days to go to the next stage, DNA extracted. Four days later it went from the DNA extracted, to the DNA analyzed stage! It took I think five or six days to finish DNA analyzing stage. Now all I have to do is wait a couple of days and my results will be ready! Thanks Ancestry! (By the way, I bought this on the $60 sale, I expected the wait time to be WAY longer since it said the processing would take about 6-8 weeks, and since there was a sale going on, I thought it would take even longer, since there was a sale and the demand was probably high, it only took about two weeks! WAY LESS THAN WHAT THE WAIT WAS!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!

I found my real father

My mom never told me that my dad wasn’t my real father. Due to her remarried when I was born. I only found out when I did a DNA test here! OMG It was so heavy. I found his wife on FB. She had no idea I was born. It could’ve gone really bad but she was heartbroken that my real father never mentioned that he had a daughter at age 17. Anyways she is amazing and is welcomed me in with my real dad to get to know them. I spent a few days w/ them spring break 2021. My father and I are a lot a like. Had same eyes did the same things with our food. We even loved the same things. This was the best experience I will never forget it. I just wish it didn’t take 48 years to find the truth. I even found out I have 2 half sisters. My kids and I are looking forward to the future of our new family. If you’re wondering how my mother felt about this she said the guilt ate her up. She relieved that this secret is finally over. The father I called dad is also happy for me. I always knew I was little different from my brothers and sister. They also couldn’t believe what my mother did. Life is crazy, this would be a great movie! Cheers and you never know what or who you might find with this test. Just roll the dice and do it!
