Answering Multiple Needs It all started with a combination of a need to digitize my old family photos, scan birth/marriage/death certificates, and find a way to illustrate the mesh of our family trees. Then came the interest in a DNA test to see what that might confirm. We have births, marriages, divorces, re-marriages, pre-mature and old age deaths, adoptions and guardianships to cover. Ancestry seemed to have it all covered, combined with the Photomyne app to simplify the photo album coverage. The hints are phenominal… just like a treasure hunt. Being able to use it across computer, tablet and phone platforms (Apple in my case) made it very versatile, and provided a great road trip exercise recently. I’m excited to reveal the findings so far to my family, that has now spread its wings across three continents. Thank you for providing an excellent tool.

Origins that were never suspected From the time I received the instructions and materials, and then mailed it in, I looked forward to finding out what would be in my DNA. Part of what I found out from my DNA wasn't a surprise. I knew there was Irish from both parents. The surprise was in my mother. Her maiden name is Schiller, which is German. We had always thought there was German in her line. But the DNA found no German at all. Plus, there were many other nationalities that had never been suspected. It was all very exciting and interesting!

The website is confusing and hard to… The website is confusing and hard to use. It has too many buttons, most of which aren't clear on what they do, even after you click them. The search is very time wasting and badly designed. At first use, it initially searches very effectively to help build a tree, showing suggestions, but then this quickly changes to offering thousands of options. There are few filters and even when you've found a person (so you know the site has a record of them), that person record doesn't show up again in future searches!
