Tried inputting family info, messed up, had trouble fixing mistakes

App & Portal

Oh man, I thought the answers were great, really detailed and all, but I had some trouble entering my family details. Ended up putting my siblings on my mom's side by mistake, and geez, it was a pain to switch them to the correct spot.

DNA test purchase

App & Portal

I bought a DNA test kit from this company not too long ago and I gotta say, I was pretty impressed with how simple the whole thing was. The website was easy to navigate and ordering the test was a breeze. Once I got my results, I started digging into my family history and putting together a family tree. Sure, there were extra charges for some features, but overall, it was a smooth and informative experience.

Difficulties with inputting family information and finding relatives on the family tree. Son's DNA kit came back inconclusive for Indian ancestry.

App & Portal

The family tree stuff and search options aren't very easy to use, and the DNA kit results were kind of a letdown since they didn't provide clear info on our Indian heritage.

Family history research

App & Portal

As a user on that genealogy website, I gotta say that I really enjoyed my time checking out all the info they had on there. The site was easy to use, so I had no problem digging through all the records and docs they had on offer. And let me tell ya, the stuff I found was not only interesting but also got me pretty curious about my family's past. I even discovered some new stories about my relatives that got me super pumped to keep on researching and learning more about where I come from. Bottom line, that website is a great tool for anyone into genealogy.

Help navigating new update

App & Portal

I gave customer service a ring for some assistance with the new update and they did a great job of explaining everything clearly to me. Even though I find the new version a bit tricky to navigate, at least I've got the hang of how to get things done. I've been using this service for ages and I've built up a massive family tree - there's almost 50,000 people on it!
