I've done DNA testing with all of the major companies now. And I've been at this DNA stuff for almost 15 years now.* I found the ethnicity estimate to be just about equal to everyone else. You can get more detail running your own models via gedmatch but for the curious or beginner, this is the easy result. If you just want to know whether you need a kilt or lederhosen or green beer for the next holiday seasons then this works as well, with many particular limitations, as any of the others.* There's no medical interpretation - most don't anymore. You can get good medical results running your raw download through Promethease for a few bucks. If you want to know medical propensities then Ancestry won't help much on its own.* The relationship calculations are pretty accurate and the database is huge. Compared to my other tests, this one returned far more and much closer connections. If you're looking for birth parents and such, this is the place to start. Just remember that the calculator is an estimate and other possibilities exist.- The sampling process was simple "spit in a tube, mail it in" - I much prefer cheek swabs but this gets the job done.- Time was super fast for me - 4 weeks from mail-in. I have a test out with one company that is nearing 3 months to process.- The user interface is pretty simple for newbies but doesn't offer much in the way of analysis tools for those who have DNA experience. Gedmatch can makeup for the shortfall in analysis tools if you can get your matches to upload there.- The ease of creating an attached tree makes for some particularly easy genealogical research to confirm/refute family connections.- The ease of creating an attached tree makes for some particularly prevalent errors in family trees.- yDNA and mtDNA predictive markers are hidden in these results if you want to make an effort to dig them out.- The marketing of this tester has created a large database of folks who were only interested in ethnicity and admixture estimates who have no interest in and won't reply to genealogy queries. Many haven't logged back in since they got their results back.There seem to be a lot of customers who forgot that molecular biology, human origins and migrations geography, and world history weren't their best subjects in school and were expecting this to return an easy result to "grasp it all" in a few minutes. The more you want to dig, the more complex the understanding will become. "DNA for Dummies" is a master's degree - "All You Ever Wanted to Know..." is a PhD. If you get hung up on needing to understand it all in a few short hours then you're going to get very frustrated. Take it in a little at a time.Having spent many $1000's on this hobby over the years, I'm very pleased with this $70 investment into understanding who I am and where I came from. Your mileage may vary.

The AncestryDNA test was a fascinating experience! I received my results quickly, and the detailed breakdown of my ethnicity and genetic origins was incredible. It’s so interesting to learn more about where my ancestors came from and how it connects to my family history. The process was easy to follow, and the results were clear and thorough. I love how personalized the experience is, and I now have a better understanding of my genetic heritage. I highly recommend this test for anyone interested in exploring their ancestry.

This as a gift? Weird right? Wrong!! This was a Christmas gift for two very important people in my life. They LOVE this! It's one of those "yeah that looks cool, I'll try it some day" kind of thing than you forget about it. Well, I tried it first of course, totally surprised with what they discovered. It does take a month to get the results but they show you their process every step of the way. Totally worth the wait. After my results, I knew this was gonna be a perfect gift. People already have the coffee mugs, blankets, facial cleanser...get them something that will change their life, something different, informative and valuable.

Overall good, but what's with the hard sell to get more info (i.e., what each parent contributed)? Why not just charge for that to begin with rather than having me commit myself to monthly payments? Not cool.

Bought this to see a little more closely into my family dna. It was easy to do at home, non evasive and mailed out free to the lab. I was able to track the progress when it was received and through testing. My results came back quickly and I was able to see what other relatives had done the same testing. I didn’t know my cousins had done it lol Great investment! I was genuinely surprised by my results!!!
