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 :)

AncestryDNA has been great, greater with .csv files AncestryDNA has been great. It would be even greater if they could allow me to get the results in a .csv file or an excel file. I go out to places in the mountains where there is no internet connection searching for graves. It would help greatly if I could take the DNA results files with me out there.

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.

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!
