I thought that ancestry was a good platform for DNA and tracing your ancestors. But now they want more money to let you look at which parent you inherited your DNA from. So I don’t think they deserve anymore than 2 stars I’m very disappointed.

I’ve solved the mystery of my paternal grandfather’s identity, with the invaluable help of Ancestry’s dna database. I still have mysteries further back to solve. It would help enormously if I could upload my “DECEASED” mother’s dna results, to confidently determine which dna matches are maternal and which are paternal. Thank you Ancestry you’ve helped a great deal but you could no more.

The ease and speed at which ancestry made it possible to delve into your ancestral past and your personal genetics

Although not perfect, there are some glaring gaps in the UK records, Ancestry's huge DNA database and extensive record collection make it an essential website for genealogists.
i really enjoyed the experence i should never had know,my eldest uncle caught measels and lost one of his eyes,and they had my aunty ann had down syndrome.when she was born she weighed 1 pound and she was wrapped in cotton wool and put in a draw,my nan was told that she wouldnt last the night,she lived until she was 55years old,my mum told me all about that and she also told me she used to feed her with a small silver spoon of condence milk,
Finding information on my 4 grandparents' lines back to the 1500s in most cases was a revelation I didn't imagine when starting my journey on Ancestry

I started my Ancestry journey with a goal of finding where my Great Great Grandparents were laid to rest. After completing my search I found that I became more interested in my family history, ancestors on both sides of the family, and this led to me wanting to have my dns analysis done.
The whole process, from using the Ancestry site to get information, to having the dna test done, was interesting, enlightening and simple to do. Ancestry were very helpful and supportive throughout, and knowing that this company do their best to guide you through everything, means that I can enjoy the process even more.
I am so pleased that I joined the site, and am learning new facts about my ancestors every day!
Ive used ancestry for many years. Has a lot of valuable information and is reasonably easy to use. For the full package it is quite expensive though.

I have found it very helpfull and easy to use
Ancestry provides an easy site to search for ancestors and create family trees. There are great sources available, an efficient search engine and helpful hints all of which have made the ease of putting my tree together a great pastime. In addition, DNA resources have added to the enjoyment. Contact with other researchers has been helpful and polite. The colour scheme used also makes it easy on the eyes too. Been a member for several years now. Highly recommend!
A great site with such a vast amount of information and very easy to navigate/use.
Using ancestry I was able to trace my family back to 1781 which was amazing
