Ancestry Recensioni 

I was adopted as a baby. I did two different DNA tests in 2012 to learn more about my bioligical background. I met my Birth Father 2 months before he passed from Cancer as a result of a DNA test and connecting with his 1st Cousin.

Since then, I have been using Ancestry to map my biological family tree and discover more about my biological family heritage.

I design software for a living, so I also enjoy the user experience, linking to other sources and connections that I make through messaging. It is fun to meet new friends while researching my genetic history.

I have been a paid Ancestry subscriber for MANY years and get so much out of it. Between the vast amount of records available and the DNA test that I did many years ago, I have the tools I need to grow my family tree. Ancestry has consistently added features and tools that expand on the ways that I can analyze my family tree and add more information. If I was to list my top thing on my Ancestry "wish list" it would be to have access to a chromosome browser for my DNA results. As an advanced DNA user, this information would be vitally helpful in my research.

Ancestry used to be great, with access to so many records. Now the site is chock full of incorrect Family Tree data created by people who don't know what they are doing. Then ancestry passes this info on again, to all new researchers which then misleads even more people. Meanwhile Ancestry has disclaimers, stating these are just hints, not facts. But new researchers do not understand that. I spend most of my time writing to people, to try and guide them, but they probably think I am wrong, as the wrong info appears so many times on Ancestry.

Ancestry has been amazing at connecting me with relatives, living and dead, that I didn't know anything about. It's helped solve a mystery about my great grandmother thru DNA testing and I've heard from relatives all over the world.

Through doing my DNA and building a family tree, Ancestry.com has helped me discover and connect with my birth family on both sides. I have discovered a lot of family history and some live cousins and even two siblings. Sometimes the hints don't lead to real information/evidence.

The hints are helpful but one definitely needs to be careful before accepting them. When doing research one should always corroborate the hint bu finding the original source documents from other reputable sites. A single mistake with assuming a hint is valid can really send you down the wrong path. With all of that said, Ancestry's ability to search across various sources is an extremely powerful feature.

I hate the new changes you have made; I don't want to be presented with a whole bunch of useless hints. I wish you would remove Geneanet as there are so many mistakes in there. PLZ stop giving hints I already have on my tree. I am also disappointed in the fact that my tree being private, you share photos I placed on my ancestors, these should be mine and not shared. As for Thrulines it is completely useless and it matches inappropriate information together, and also match by name when we know many people have the same name???

I love the Ancestry app. I figured out the old family "rumour " using the census records and other user trees . Made some family members really happy. However, I do think the memberships are expensive.

I found the DNA shared matches a great help. Before this was available, I was able to match dna results to a group who I then researched to a common surname. Contacting some of these dna matches helped us solve an affair back to a child born in 1857. Then the option to purchase Pro tools added more definitive results. My only complaint would be that I feel after being a member for a great many years, it would be nice to not have to pay an additional monthly fee for this feature.

Last December, got a hit that had an older brother from both parents so now we are seven biological siblings. No one could verify. One sibling did go and meet him and wow, cannot deny that he is out brother, looks manner, voice. Thank you ancentry for giving us a great find from what the past hid.

I've used Ancestry for many years and the hints are excellent, as are the mechanisms for building a family tree.
I've always hoped for more close family connections and last year, I found that I have a half sister, courtesy of my father's stint in England during WWII. It was a wonderful discovery and we correspond on a regular basis.

I appreciate the hints and respect that Ancestry always tells you to validate whatever you find. I also appreciate the tutoring sessions that Crista does , and have learned a great deal more about how to use the Ancestry tools.

I have spent YEARS and THOUSANDS of HOURS and a few THOUSAND DOLLARS building Ancestry trees,,, and there was some sort of an Ancestry update that WRECKED ALL MY PERSONALIZED WRITTEN NARRATIVES on EACH PERSON in my trees. and this update squished my paragraphs all together so it was one long running narrative AND the update added all kinds of symbols and keyboard characters in my narrative which made my written summaries LOOK AWFUL 😞 . I was soooo upset, I’m still upset,,, it will take me HUNDREDS of HOURS to go thru EACH written narrative and edit the summary to remove all these keyboard characters and space out my paragraphs again,,, I feel SO DEPRESSED and ANGRY about it all.

Don't try to cancel or delete your account with Ancestry. They make it IMPOSSIBLE!!!

I've tried to use their online customer support as well as contacted them on their customer support telephone line without any success.

Firstly, it will NEVER. and I mean NEVER send you a verification code to your email... and if by miracle you receive one. It'll tell you that the verification code is incorrected. Even if you copy / paste.

Secondly, try call the support line for fun. No one will EVER answer you call. In fact, you'll be told that your call cannot be completed at this time.

My personal recommendation is DON'T OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH ANCESTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Very simple process for sample collection; timely status updates and analyses; very detailed and extensive data to support conclusions. Have bought kits for other family members.

I have been with Ancestry.ca for years. I updated to using Pro Tools last year and this has changed my whole focus. Now I can find mistakes and duplicates without difficulty. I enjoy the updates as they occur and the DNA feature has proven interesting as I can share it with my direct family. Looking forward to more from Ancestry!

Ancestry.ca is a fantastic platform through which to get to know your ancestors as real people as you travel with them through the joys and tragedies of their lives.

Excellent service

I have been working with Ancestry.ca off and on over the last 10 years, as I find time, and I find the site easy to navigate and easy to update. Ancestry.ca constantly reviews other family trees and other available documents to provide hints to more of my relatives and extended family members.
