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.

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!

Ancestry and the Pandemic Ancestry was the answer for me during the pandemic. I couldn’t see my friends and family like I wished so that’s when I got to know my ancestors!

Buyer beware!! Buyer beware!! Poor customer service. Company demonstrates no accountability. While when you activate your test kit, it says results can take six to eight weeks, true, however they send text messages with erroneous information and do not update their dashboard, SO, be prepared to call, multiple times to get any kind of an actual update, other than results are taking longer anticipated. My little girl has been waiting for a while to get these results with zero update to the estimated receipt of your results. Just use another company.
