AncestryDNA: Genetic Ethnicity Test

Let’s start with the Seller because that’s the first point I encountered of issue. This Seller in my personal experience is highly un co-operative that I’ve decided from now on to completely stay clear off buying any products the moment I see this seller at all without even thinking twice. When you come to them with an issue of your product rather than trying to solve out with you, leave me simply stranded on your own. Unless until Amazon as a Company intervenes, you won’t get your rights from this company (not even the refund). This ain’t the first time I struggle on Amazon.ae platform, but hopefully it will be the last especially buying from this Seller.Now about the brand: The good part of your test is that they show you, your genetic traits apparently. The information that they provide you as a customer, are highly inaccurate special comes to you are the breakdown of the countries involved in your ancestry, which is supposedly supposed to be the main thing in the whole kit and the whole test, which is sad to be honest. I had very high hopes in this company which made me utterly disappointed. Imagine after waiting for more than a month. I get this dis-satisfactory results?Bottom line from my experience: I was so keen on receiving the product in my hand and I was so keen on sharing my “positive” and inspiring review that would guide other potential customers like me in the past reality check mixed with positive hope like I usually do every time I’m satisfied with the product or service. Looks like I’m gonna put much more reviews from now on way more often to guide you as potential customers more and more.

This product should not be made available for shipment outside the US. To have your DNA sample analyzed you will need to collect the specimen and ship it back to the US so that Ancestry can analyze. However, the postage stamp for the return package is only for within the US. If I you contact Aramex or any other shipping company to send a human specimen, they will ask for a CDC report.I tried visiting govt clinics and calling ministry of health and they all confirmed that this can’t be done if they weren’t the ones collecting the specimens. So this product is useless and you will lose money..

I am apparently not allowed to say exactly why this product was completely useless, but that is my very solid opinion that it was exactly that.

Unfortunately Ancestry DNA company service is not available in UAEAmazon did not mention that when selling the productNow I am punished that they do not want to pick up the product for refund.I need to drive to return the productVery unsatisfying service

You can’t send it to US for testing due to customs regulations.The product description should mention this.

The test cannot be returned to the US without a non infectious certificate that the 3rd party seller cannot/will not give.We have purchased the test but cannot send it back for analysis.

Unable to process this DNA test from the UAE.

This product only can be used and shipped in US!!!!!

Oh my goodness, what a fun and interesting time I have had with learning my ancestry. There is so much information that's readily available, and they keep finding more that they send to you. Start with your parents and go from there. If someone in your family already started an ancestry page, you will get suggestions to see if any of their people matches your people. Some people keep their ancestry private and you can't see it, but they will give you the initials and you can possibly contact them if you have questions about a deceased family member. It's easy to use, doesn't cost an arm & leg. It's fun, and you will be surprised at how far you can go back in time. This is something you can pass to the next generation , and it won't be hard for them to update.

Not sponsored just a fan! This is my third time purchasing this kit via Amazon as it was on sale for Cyber Monday. Makes a great gift. It's easy to use, easy to send off to the lab, and it's fun to get the email alerting you to the results. As an amateur genealogist who has spent long hours building our family tree through the Ancestry site (corroborating with birth, marriage, death certificates; war records, burial information, immigration documentation, family archives) I will emphasize that the Ancestry DNA test yields more specific, accurate results when added *to* other verifiable data. When the DNA test stands alone it's conjecture. The more factual information you input the better the outcome, so consider filling up your tree. Example: with testing alone, results may say 80% of your ancestors come from France and 18% Canada, 2% Other. However when you combine the test with other facts you load into the Ancestry program, the test can zoom in for a more specific result to say 80% France > Normandy; 20% Canada > Southern Ontario Settlers (Ottawa Valley); 2% Sweden. Over time, Ancestry will also alert you to when you get a DNA match - that is, when close or distant family members also test and get connected to you. I did my own kit three years ago and I continue to get new information from it which I enjoy! Highly recommend.

Most of my family and various in laws have tested with Ancestry now. My wife found out via ancestry that one great grandfather and one great great grandfather were someone completely different than recorded and known by the family. She also found via ancestry that another great grandfather had a whole extra family after her great grandmother died young and was able to trace several living children and grandchildren of the resulting half great uncles and aunts, who she is now in touch with on a fairly regular basis. On my side we found a close family friend of many years' closest match was my grandma and then my mum was also a very close match, we had no idea she was related so that was a nice surprise. My wife has also done 23andme but functionality on there is a lot more limited and there are far fewer UK users. So would recommend Ancestry more. It is cheaper to order from Amazon as opposed to from the Ancestry site, as from the Ancestry site tests are shipped from Germany which costs quite a bit extra per test and it can take up to three weeks to arrive. I had already used Ancestry for general genealogy purposes since the mid-noughties so had full membership already, which covers unlimited use and functionality of the DNA 'portal' and tools. As others have said the Ancestry matches tools are not the best and are lacking compared to other sites. Also Ancestry is either unavailable or is simply just not popular in most European, Asian and African countries so if your ancestry is not mainly from the UK you won't have many matches and are likely to have a less detailed ethnicity estimate. It is possible to upload your raw data to other sites except for 23andMe and I would recommend this, but make sure you read up on the sites and their reputation for data protection and transparency first. My Heritage are particularly good for matches with many tools Ancestry don't have and a much more user friendly layout, though their ethnicity estimate is highly inaccurate for most users and should be read for comedy value only.
