5.0 out of 5 stars Great product
Instructions are very clear and concise. Free packaging to ship your specimen. I love the new slide out tray.I bought one back 9 years ago and it sid not have that feature.It is so much fun connection with family and planning vacations to your ancestral lands.I loved it so much I buy them for everyone for Christmas now.I also had Ancestry release my information to a third party company (Strategene) to get a complete genetic analysis to find any genetic markers for disease. Very cool stuff!
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun kit
I ordered the ancestrydna kit during a Black Friday sale because I’ve always been curious about my background. The kit was easy to complete and I got my results in about a month. It was fun to see where my relatives came from. There were no surprises for me like you hear about-which is good I guess lol. It’s helped me verify stories I heard growing up about different relatives-and dispute others (you know the classic ‘my grandmothers grandmother was a Cherokee princess’ smh). I would recommend to anyone curious about their background-it was fun and easy.
5.0 out of 5 stars Genealogy buffs *must* use their ThruLines and Common Ancestor Tools!
No surprises!I know a lot of people have unusual and hard-to-determine ancestry or even progeny, but let me reassure you that the accuracy seems flawless to me. I had literally no surprises in my results, which may seem a bit boring at first blush. But it's exciting to confirm all of the research that I did on Ancestry and Family search for the last 2 years.I have a regular and recurring Ancestry account that I paid less-than-full price for (thanks to coupons) and this kit worked extremely well with it. Everybody should know that they run sales for the kits all the time (pick a holiday that entails family members, and you'll find a discount here). So I got mine near Black you-know-what day and it was probably the best sale you'll see.My tree of over 1,000 people is woefully incomplete in my cousin lines. I had only worked on direct ancestors. Well, if you are like me, now you can do two things: you can (1) add in your cousins with DNA matches, most of which will be alive, and (2) confirm or fix your direct ancestors. I was happy when I was able to do #2 especially for my father's line. It turned out that my father's father's father was quite the lady's man! He sort of loved them and leaved them, so to speak. Well, I have several cousins because of all this. While not entirely unexpected, it had been assumed that he died. Nah, he was just starting a new family elsewhere.It also helped me figure out who his father was. So, I guess the secret is out, and I can confirm the rest of my (admittedly boring) tree.So I got many, many DNA links, and some of them shared quite a bit (1 to 3%) of my DNA.And I pretty much can put a damper on the old wives' tales about being descended from Indians. Either they made that up, or I got no DNA from them.I recommend1. you work on your tree in Ancestry (you will need a subscription)2. you watch a video about using the DNA matches and ThruLines3. you learn about cM4. you compare your tree to your 1st, 2nd, 3rd cousins trees5. you eventually try the "dot" method to identify hidden/unknown lines in your tree6. you make your tree public to help othersI sort of forgot about the traits. Anyway, they are interesting, and I already found three traits which don't describe me well.I actually think Ancestry DNA's traits are terrible. I hate them. You know why? They somehow refuse to explain them. They go to all of this trouble to identify the genes for iris coloration and nose shape, but they can't be bothered with photos of ACTUAL humans (not drawings) of a Grecian nose or a pigmented ring. Even an attached ear lobe could help some people.I also don't like their "male hair loss" trait when it has been called "male pattern hair loss" for decades. And get this: their photo for male hair loss shows a BALD man who appears to have his head shaved and is relatively young instead of the commonly-seen man with bald spots at that age.Possibly the stupidest trait is CLEFT CHIN (see photo). Rather than showing us a cleft chin, they draw white dots where one would be ... on a stock photo of someone without one! Come on, man. Really? I also looked up cleft chin on the Interwebs and there is a funny study of US Senator photos that concludes it is "hard to draw a clear boundary between cleft and smooth chins." Traits may be fun for kids in 5th grade science, but this is just embarrassing.So while I can't really complain if I have 3+ traits or so that don't describe me, their questionnaires are confusing and the results need a lot of fixing.The "traits" were not something that sold me on this test: they seem (both to me and the DNA Traits website team) to be an afterthought. DNA testing is to figure out how you relate to others. You sort of already know who you are. So 5 stars with a caveat: ignore the man behind the curtain that tells you that you don't like dancing -- but you like to run marathons!You have been warned: DNA Traits are very underwhelming, scientifically questionable, confusing in their descriptions, and no more accurate than a palm reading.Also: my results came fast! And I submitted them during the December rush period. I liked that. They completely over-delivered on speed here.
5.0 out of 5 stars DNA Kit with Extra Features
This is my second time getting a kit through Ancestry. My Mom purchased a kit through Ancestry for Christmas a few years back and I absolutely loved it! It gave great information I had never knew about my background and blood line, things I’ve always wanted to know and would never know otherwise. When I did it, the ease of it was amazing and hassle free. They let you know where there at in the process once you physically take the test and send it off. Though it seems like it takes forever, it was real neat how it would show when they received it, when it’s processing, what point at testing there at, when there processing the results, and so much more. They keep you up to date with every detail and it was real nice to know the extra care and length that they go to, to try and keep it as less stressful as possible…Last year, my daughter wanted to see her results and ended up purchasing one through another brand and company altogether. It wasn’t the greatest and was really bland with the test results. Plus you also had to pay to find out the rest of the percentage that was in your dna…This year, I wanted to go back through Ancestry for sure. I was amazed at the extra details you could find out like traits and personality, etc., that could be based off of your bloodline. I will be purchasing another now for myself so I can see the extra information, and I will only ever go through Ancestry now after what all she went through with the previous big name company..
4.0 out of 5 stars Not much information you can't get off Ancestry
Here's what I did like. The product itself was good. It was relatively affordable, easy to use, and their communication was top notch. It was fairly quick, and I had my results in a little over a month. I did it over the Christmas break so I think it would actually have been quicker if it wasn't for all the holidays.The issue I had was with the results. I feel they were portrayed as being more insightful. Most of the information given was things I already knew, but I will say I learned a lot of distant relatives. In truth, I feel it's a ploy where they give you something that is cheap, but then lure you into spending more money for detailed results.Overall, it's not a terrible product but I highly reccomend you wait until there is a great special. As soon as I purchased my product, they began advertising it with a six month subscription for a dollar more. I wrote them, of course, but they wouldn't honor it.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to find distant relatives and to find out your countries of origin
The results were available very quickly. There were no surprises with my ethnicity but I have already been in contact with a very distant relative in Sweden. I am hoping that I can find out more information on when and how my great grandparents came to the USA. Definitely worth the price.
