Answering Multiple Needs It all started with a combination of a need to digitize my old family photos, scan birth/marriage/death certificates, and find a way to illustrate the mesh of our family trees. Then came the interest in a DNA test to see what that might confirm. We have births, marriages, divorces, re-marriages, pre-mature and old age deaths, adoptions and guardianships to cover. Ancestry seemed to have it all covered, combined with the Photomyne app to simplify the photo album coverage. The hints are phenominal… just like a treasure hunt. Being able to use it across computer, tablet and phone platforms (Apple in my case) made it very versatile, and provided a great road trip exercise recently. I’m excited to reveal the findings so far to my family, that has now spread its wings across three continents. Thank you for providing an excellent tool.

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 :)

I am still enjoying and getting better in my research and following the correct lineage. It has been my go to or way to get away from some of the clutter that sometimes surrounds us all!!

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.
