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.

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!

The color wheel is very helpful along with the percentage breakdown of my background. I shared it with my family on our family meet day and got lots of support, comments and questions on how we can keep this going to learn more about our family.😁

Excellent DNA & Family history Excellent DNA & Family history I've used Ancestry before for family history research, but have now uploaded my tree and got my DNA. DNA was super fast, once received, less than a week to process! Am so stoked to have done DNA as it's proving very useful. Also the hints on my tree are excellent, great experience, really happy :)
