Constant spam emails were not appropriate The amount of advertising email and spam from ancestry.com was ridiculous.

The constant request for upgraded packages and more money was not appropriate.

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!

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 :)

A lot of information but unhappy with… A lot of information but unhappy with the search process. It seems very difficult to narrow things down. Because you cannot narrow the results, you spend hours looking through numerous possibilities.

Average I still can’t view the ‘traits’ section of my DNA analysis. An ‘error’ notice appears instead of the traits info. My sister is posted as my ‘brother’. Some (two) fun photos of my grandmother. Average experience.
