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!

Confirmed the document evidence My DNA results took much longer to arrive than I expected, so I spent those weeks filling out my family tree. When the results arrived, I felt that they affirmed what I was finding through the document evidence. I was impressed that the system estimates what portions of my background come from my paternal vs. maternal side.

Constant spam emails were not appropriate The amount of advertising email and spam from ancestry.com was ridiculous. While we were waiting on the results we were bombarded with spam email from ancestry. We have already purchased the service. The constant request for upgraded packages and more money was not appropriate.

It was a very exciting experience It was a very exciting experience. However once clicking on what I thought was my grandmother and realised it was incorrect, I was unable to change it. It was an interesting result and would recommend it.

The membership -it took so long for… The membership -it took so long for results that over half the membership is over. The membership should not start till the DNA is complete. The military fold is hard to use and did not work for us. I have done a different DNA test and it seem to be quicker and easy to navigate.
