Well I had my doubts with this site early on, and cancelled. Paid for the membership for the year, was frustrated to learn Premium really means (basic). As a senior, we get tired of being bambuzzled,... See more

It's fantastic to rediscover your roots. You can add so many relatives that even you didn't know, check the ages, the complete names, etc. It's easy to use and you can add photos and correct mistakes... See more

I was unsure that I wanted to renew my subscription to the site. Without Tohar's interest, suggestions and options I would have let it lapse. He was professional and supportive during our discussion.... See more

Terrible Company, Expect To Be Scammed

If I could rate them at -5 stars I would. There is not a single human being you can talk to at that company if you have an issue. On top of that they think they’re clever for nickling and diming their customers for every tiny feature after you’ve already given them an absurd amount of money for what they’re offering. I’m still waiting for their AI chat bot to connect me to a person after it said it would. If I were holding my breath I’d be dead already. What do you expect from a scammy outfit headquartered in a foreign country I guess. I fully expect them to pay to have this comment hidden from search results.

Easy to use

Easy to use. The only issue is people need verify their information before they put it on a tree. It created a mess trying to straighten it out and get it correct. I do not add to my tree before I verify information.

OMG swindlers

OMG!
Ordered a DNA kit only for £19 but these blaggards have taken £109 out of my account for family searches which I did not request and can’t get a reply. Do not use unless you want to get ripped off.
