AncestryDNA: Genetic Testing for Positive User Reviews
✓ Thank you AncestryDNAI just want to tell you thank you, I took this test about a year ago to see we’re my ancestors came from and I found out so much more just yesterday I found out who my dads fathers family is he never new what his father looked like or anything about his fathers family in tell yesterday only new his name I texted my second cousin who had the same last name she told me to text her other cousin that told me everything about his family and are stories matched up and now my dads got siblings that want to meet with him he’s spent 37 years not knowing if he would ever see what his father or family looked like and AncestryDNA made that possible thank you!!!!.Version: 6.20
✓ Short WaitI 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!!!.Version: 3.11.1

✓ Finding Family Members, through DNA Results.It is really interesting to find Family Members, through submitting a saliva sample. When I googled it, it gave that the Information is 99 per cent accurate. I have found a few Family Members so far, through The Ancestry..Version: 6.20
✓ Very pleased!I am very pleased and surprised at the results of my DNA matches from AncestryDNA ..Version: 6.7
✓ Great and Interesting ServiceHad 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..Version: 5.16
✓ C BothaAfter my ethnicity estimate already reached 100% .... your app still shows another ethnicity - with minus 1% !!! Shocking..Version: 6.3
✓ Fantastic appEasy to navigate and go through matches which shows you on which matches with close family matches, relatives who share common ancestors and DNA connections. Also shows the how you are connected with DNA and approximate relationship connection. You can also check the familiar surname you share with DNA and can research the connection.Version: 6.3.1
✓ Such Interesting information.I am turning 80 in July. I remember so many wonderful relativesI I had the privilege meeting and knowing. It saddens me my children and grandchildren will not have the experiences I remember as a child. So I have tried to document as much as possible. As each young person is marrying or having children, each new group of relatives is a new experience of researching and blending the new families. The new Cousins, Aunties, and Uncles not forgetting wonderful new Grandparents. I have much appreciation for the information and the joy of being introduced to hard working ancestors who have contributed to our traits and characteristics we are still honing today..Version: 7.0
✓ FamilyFun finding family.Version: 6.4.1
✓ The JourneyWhat a journey of discovery. Distant relative to a former US President..Version: 5.16
✓ After 50 years I was united with my birth familyThank 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.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Finding My ClanFive years ago I did my father's line. not Ally enjoyed it but did not make a copy. Now, I am working on getting my ancestors Temple work done & I discover I have many relatives going very far back in time, with their work done! Next, I get Ancestry DNA and get a surprise! I am not exactly who I thought I was, so now I am trying to do my Swedish Grandfather's genealogy and make contact ultimately with his families clan. All the tools are here to do that. This is very exciting and rewarding work. All my children have their DNA done now so we are marching forward discovering those roots from which we sprung..Version: 3.1
✓ Paternal searchI am so glad that this sort of site exists now a days after searching for over 35yrs for answers to who my biological father was after being denied this from my mother even to her grave . After searching all this time and wishing , hoping , thinking and wanting answers as to who I really was I eventually got the answers to those questions at the age of 52 . I found out my father was deceased which was another emotion I wasn’t ready for I pound I had 1st cousins which has been great communicating with them and I hope to meet in Canada for the first time when flights are save from this Covid situation. I can’t be any happier after getting the answers I always wanted and feel that I can now let this all go and move on with my life . THANKS ANCESTRY 😁.Version: 4.36
✓ I love itI’ve always been interested in my family history and AncestryDNA is probably the most accurate app to use to find that out. My only concern is that me and my brother both got a kit, but for me it said I was 17% Scandinavia but my brother had none. It used to say I was European Jewish, then it was removed but my brother still had it. But it does say me and my brother are both Eastern European, me 8% and my brother 16%, so that’s pretty accurate. There was a few differences on the low confidence regions, but that’s ok cause after all, they are low confidence. I defiantly recommend to buy a kit though because they will continuously update it to make it accurate. Maybe it’s just that I am more Scandinavian than him and he has little Scandinavian in his blood because I seem to have more on our dads side and he seems to have more on our moms because he had a lot of Western European (on my moms side my grandmas from Germany) and I have more Italian than him (my dads mom is from Sicily). So yeah, all in all pretty accurate. Great app!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ So good to knowToday I received my Ancestry DNA results. I was amazed! I was happy to realize what I always believed-that we are all connected. I discovered my ancestry was from Nigeria as well as from Scotland; from Cameroon as well as from the UK. I was just amazed at how thorough the information was. It was fascinating. I shared it with my children and they are now excited to receive their own sets of results. My grandmother used to say, “what you don’t know can make a whole new world”. And boy was she right. I’m excited to know who I’m connected to in this big world..Version: 5.22
✓ AncestryDNAI just wish all my family and friends would take advantage of this wonderful experience and together all of us could learn about where we came from and what OUR FAMILY IS MADE UP OF. I truly believe that as a retired Chief Of Police and my nearly 50 years in Law Enforcement there would be so much more knowledge gleaned about who we are and what makes us tick as parts of the human family. I totally believe as we do gain more knowledge about DNA we will discover so much about what makes us who and what we are and why we do what we do. VERY VERY VERY INTERESTING..Version: 3.13.1
✓ Amazing accept for 1 thingThis app rocks and is easier to use then the regular ancestry app for dna but some people’s results are a little different then just using the regular ancestry app or the website on my computer. For example my dad(who shall remain anonymous) is said to be 81% Europe South on my regular ancestry app but on the AncestryDNA app it says he’s 82% this has happened to some other people I’ve seen to. I understand that some results will change in the future but I would like u to make some improvements on this just so that the results are the same on all ancestry products and apps. Thanks!😀.Version: 3.11.1
✓ My DNA does not seem to be credible!I know that my great parents down the line are from Spain. I don’t have any evidence of Italy, France, Portugal and especially Africa/Bantu. I can see Morocco, because there was much influence in Spain, but Bantu is ridiculous! When I first received my DNA, it said I was 2% European/Jewish, which I can also see, because of the influence of Jews in Spain and my first and last names are Jewish. Now, that was removed! I believe that DNA’s are being mixed up and they are not accurate! The updates are not an accurate improvement! I am very disappointed and so are some of my friends. They claim they have proof from their family line, that they are Jewish, yet it was removed from their DNA..Version: 3.13.1
✓ Missing piece to my life-puzzle foundI never thought this could/would happen: Almost three decades ago when I learned my biological mother’s name and subsequently met over 60 of her relatives, one of them told me what she knew of my biological father which was he had sons. As my busy life moved along raising my children, career, and so on, I figured it was unlikely if I did have brothers that I would ever know them. He was in his late 30’s when I was born and given up for adoption. Well via Ancestry I matched as “close family” with one of them. Now we are in contact and time will tell how what our future holds. Thank you Ancestry for all your dedication to these important matters. Sincerely, Anna May.Version: 3.17
✓ New Features Great, NOT HomepageI love this app, it helps me look through so much research on the go just about as easily as a desktop. I’m pleased and excited about the latest update to the new DNA Matches page- it looks very useful. However I miss the utility of the old homepage, where so much was displayed like a dashboard. Now you have to click on a tab to see if there’s anything new or worth looking at, whereas before you both saw some useful data and saw updates as soon as you opened the app..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Good so farGood.Version: 4.21.2
✓ So Happy that I checked my DNA Story!!!When my wife Kristal and I had our DNA checked out with AncestryDNA, I had no idea at all, zero, none at all that I had any Irish in my DNA profile, and not only do I, it’s the Majority single contributor to it!!! This knowledge spurred me on to find my Irish relatives, again whom I never was told anything about, at any time, and behold I found her!!! My Great Grandmother Mary Carr was from Ireland, and she had emigrated to Canada with John Maves, a German. Their daughter, Kathryn Maves is my Grandmother on my mom’s side of the family! This years was the first year that I was able to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, knowing that I am actually Irish too!!! O the joy of it all!!! Not only am I Irish, I also have English, Scottish, and Welsh too!!! Absolutely Thrilling!!! Thank you AncestryDNA!!!.Version: 4.8
✓ Update this appMore updates please more often please can you update this app every day because this app isn’t giving me much to do as I am not allowed to do the test because I am a child.Version: 7.14
✓ Accurate, Fantastic and Helped find adopted FamilyThey went on to meet their real grandparents, parents and cousins. Because of state laws that previously left them at a dead end with no hope in site, these have been able to break that barrier. They no longer ask “who I am” or wonder about medical history. I also purchased tests for various members of my family on both sides to test accuracy—they showed up EXACTLY as the relation they are! I’ve since helped others to purchase about 15-20 dna tests since then! bravo ancestry!.Version: 3.13.1
✓ Would love one feature…I’m enjoying this app. Connecting with a few distant relatives. I would LOVE to have a way to look at the profile of the person messaging me however. I’ve gotten some messages from people but cannot find them on my match list and no option to go to their profile. It tells me the relation at the top below their name, but my only option is to block them. Can we get a view profile option or am I just missing it? Otherwise like it Edit to add….I found the search feature so I can find the profiles of those who have sent me messages. So I changed my rating to 5 😀.Version: 6.19
✓ NewI am so new to both DNA and family trees but I am enjoying my time in trying to get my head around all the information I have collected. I know I have made mistakes and will have to make many adjustments as my knowledge improves. In the mean time I will try not to compound my mistakes and look to improve my knowledge..Version: 5.14
✓ SuperbFab site utterly brilliant.Version: 4.29.1
✓ Mostly favorableI like Ancestry, for the most part. But there are some actions that are hard to employ. Like fixing relationships on the tree. Seeing the tree each time it shows something different. I want to view the entire tree at once. And lastly reading messages. Very difficult to find and respond to. However, recently Ancestry has made other things easier than a year ago. I appreciate those things..Version: 7.0
✓ Absolutely brilliantI use this and the main app to manage 11 dna results it’s great if you just want quick updates and viewing DNA matches this is the app for you another great ancestry product.Version: 4.19.1
✓ AncestryGreat fun researching one’s ancestry and family links across the globe..Version: 7.21
✓ FantasticLearning more about my roots daily.Version: 4.26
✓ My Amazing Ancestry ResultsGetting 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!.Version: 6.13.2
✓ InterestingI did this finally after wanting to for years. It was interesting at my results, but I don’t know how to read them honestly, but am also not particularly happy because I know I’m Cherokee Native American and it doesn’t tell me percentage or anything and that’s the only reason I did this DNA. My mother and I have recently discovered we were, but we were not sure how much we were because her grandmother; my great-grandmother is full blooded but she died before me and I am still stuck and struggling with how to read these results. It was however easy to do the test, but I am not sure if it was money well spent or not lol. But I’ll give props on the fast it was delivered etc and the regions that my sample was or is whatever lol but I need more in depth explains please..Version: 3.5.1
✓ DNABrilliant.Version: 4.21.3
✓ 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..Version: 5.24
✓ ConnectionsI have several related individuals listed, the closest ones are not members on Ancestry site. This program doesn’t allow / provide a way for me to contact them. Why! Nor, does it take you to the related people’s, co-match in their tree. I was disappointed that it just gives you a list of trees you’re relatives are in. WHERE? I have twenty five thousand relations entered. How am I supposed to help the people who contact me, find their relationship to me? The commercial looks great and if this testing did what they portray it does, that would be great. IT DOES NOT!!! It’s just another expensive toy....Version: 3.3.5
✓ Ancestry changed our lives!My Ancestry journey has been amazing. The longer I research, the more I feel like I am just getting started. My mom was adopted and it was our understanding that there were no records available, not even a complete birth certificate; that is until Ancestry DNA came into our lives. Now we know that she is was of 14 siblings; and that is just what I have learned on my others side. This journey has changed our lives forever, we know have close relationships with relationships that never could have possible without Ancestry! It has truly changed our lives. Thank you so much!!!!.Version: 6.3.1
✓ Natessa WilliamsIt’s is great other than people using initials for their names I’ve track family members I never new I had.Version: 5.16
✓ DNASome exciting results and new contacts. New relatives i was unaware of..Version: 6.1
✓ Great app.Great app..Version: 7.11
✓ Je kiffe tropGROS COUP DE L’ANNÉE!.Version: 6.21
✓ One major annoyanceThe app is pretty good, with one major annoyance. I don’t like notifications from apps because many apps use them to get you to open the app for no reason. Apple includes how often apps are opened to rank popularity. I generally deny apps permission to give notifications. I gave this one permission since I get very occasional messages from relatives. About every other week this app shows a badge, implying there is something new, but when I open the app, there is nothing. Super annoying. I hate being tricked. I went to their support chat to discuss my concern. It said I was #2 in line. 15 minutes later, I was still #2. So I came here..Version: 4.32
✓ Review is for the appApp: Easy to use,navigate, quick activating the kit is easy and dummy proof. Less than/about 3 weeks to get results during promotional period. Purchased 3 kits and sent on different dates to get an average idea of process time. _______________ Results: nothing life changing or astonishing. If you know your parents, grandparents, and have a somewhat idea on the evolution of mankind or a sense of migration, war, and the slave trade, you’ll better understand why you have certain regions in your dna. It can still be fun to do with family members. _______________ Con on region results: North, Central, And South America are in one region for example. Might not be as helpful for someone who has a dad from N. America and a mom from S. America. It’s not going to be 50/50 or close to it (because of European & African in them), but your half might be even less because together your parents are 30-40% total of this region..Version: 4.8
✓ 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!.Version: 4.25
