ancestry - Reviews and experiences

I love learning about my family history and genealogy, so when I found out about DNA kits for genealogy, I was so excited! I've bought a few kits for both myself and my family, and the results have been really interesting. But, I was a bit let down to find out that I couldn't get the refer a friend gift card with my purchases. Plus, having to buy extra subscriptions like Ancestry, Newspapers, and find a grave can get pretty pricey and overwhelming. I think there should be more free info out there to help more folks explore their roots.

I ordered a DNA test back in February but I never got it. I called customer service and they told me I forgot to write the number on the container, so the shipping got delayed. The person I talked to was nice and they said they will send me a new kit, which should come in 7 to 10 days. Even though it was my fault, I think the DNA test is too expensive compared to other ones out there.

I bought a DNA testing kit from this company recently, and I gotta say, it was a pretty good experience overall. The website and app were super easy to navigate, which made finding the info I needed a breeze. But you know what grinds my gears? Some DNA test info is only available to folks who subscribe. I think all the test results should be included with the kit, even if it bumps up the price a bit. I mean, I like the features and all, but the subscription fees seem a little pricey compared to other sites, eh?
