Ancestry Recenzje 

My Matheson Tree is now becomming my Piggott tree and I keep adding to my family line. My hubby, CLifford Edwin Matheson had his DNA done but it wouldn't allow him to put my e-mail in to receive his info, as I am doing the Matheson Tree. He knows nothing about computers. I go into his e-mails and forward to my e-mail and most of the time I cannot open them.. so his DNA is usless to him. Why can't he use my e-mail.. I know you are trying to force him to open an account with you but he has no knowledge how to work the computer and I wish to keep all the info together for family info. please help
Please tell Ancestry I tried to follow their instructions but when I went in Clifford Edwin Matheson's account and went to his DNA..when it opened up all that was there was Origins, Matches, ThruLines, Traits, Compare Surveys, Register a Kit and Buy another Kit.. There was NO DNA TEST SHARING, so therefore I cannot invite my email as Manager.. please help.

As a user in Canada, I find that the vast majority of hints and search results are specific to the USA and rarely apply to my research. Additionally, I feel the current subscription cost is excessive, but I am hesitant to cancel because I do not want to lose the work I have already done.

Easy to navigate the site

Ancestry is not really improving their customer's requests. They still are not capable to get the old geographic regions that are on the documents entered into the data bank right. The worse thing in genealogy is not to find the right locations within the time frame that are labeled on documents all over the world. Every other company has them somehow adjusted to their websites. Ancestry has towns that used to be in the part of Germany that used to be Prussia in areas that often end up in the US or any other part of the world. There is no excuse for such mistakes if someone searches a name in Germany or Prussia today often Poland or Russia and ends up in a totally different country on earth. That is a part that needs to be corrected in a hurry. I am trying to get Ancestry to correct this for years and nobody is listening in that company. As of DNA? I am not sure if I am happy about that part as well. Health and any other functions are so often misleading and the surveys are totally out of human reality. The price is too high too for people to work with their DNA. Not everybody has the money to keep up a subscription all the time. Especially if they only did their DNA for fun and not for research a family tree. Ancestry has a lot of things they need to correct and perhaps be more honest in their advertisement. I am a genealogist and keep my subscription mostly up to date. But if I calculate the expense I have had over the last 10 years in keeping up subscriptions I have be a millionaire and not a fixed income pensioner. There should be discounts for genealogists and seniors that have faithfully paid into the deep and endless pot of genealogy subscriptions and other sources that are rather expensive. I only use ancestry because they have purchased most of the documents from Germany which includes the part that is Poland today. Also, I need a company that hosts my tree so that I don't need to have my one website, which probably would be less expensive but after I am gone it would be gone too. I want people to have excess to my data but with the right location. I am still debating if I leave my tree on Ancestry unless the locations are going to be corrected.

Two years ago I lost a much loved step-daughter to cancer but amazingly I found a new friend, a cousin, and a half brother for my daughter all through my research and membership in ancestry.com.
A month or so before she passed away I suggested a dna test for my daughter to distract her from her pain and suffering. Sadly she passed just before the results came in. However, at about the same time a very nice gentleman was approaching his 60th birthday and his wife purchased a DNA test from Ancestry.com. He was adopted and had been wondering about his parents who had given him up for adoption. He was able to not only find who they were but also discovered a half sister he very much wanted to meet. Unfortunately he was unable to connect with her due to her passing. He did connect with his birth mother but she was unwilling to have contact. During his search he did contact myself and we became friends. I did some research for him and found some ancestors and strangely enough I found he and I were cousins. That meant I was also a cousin to my own daughter I had raised! Our family and his have had a great time getting to know each other. Ancestry played a big part in this odd story.

I found the changes you have made very confusing and frustrating. I am experiencing a great deal of difficulty using your new format. I am also getting a great many incorrect hints from AI.
I am no longer a happy customer.

I had an unexpected Ancestry victory when I was able to trace the family back to 1066: the Norman Invasion! Most genealogists know that finding people who get baptized, married, and buried through a church is a goldmine of documentation. it's even better when those people have wealth and status, because they can be found in historical records. Finding a line with wealth and status made it easy for me to establish the male line of the Hussey family back to Hugh de Hussey who came over with William. When others are excited about finding relative back to the 1700's, I can boast that I have uncovered mine 700 years before theirs! Ancestry made this possible. It would have taken years of digging through paper and fiche to have achieved this.

My journey with using Ancestry has been outstanding. I have learn things about my ancestors that are truly remarkable, like I have found a branch that lead me to the Mayflower. Wow! I have found first cousins that I didn't know that I had. without using Ancestry i probably would not have found out any of this.

I have had the best experience ever with Ancestry. Its got so much information available at your fingertips. The online seminars are extremely helpful and full of great tips & tricks.

Ancestry has an amazing collection of records. I was in tears over reading a first-hand experience by an ancestor during the Revolutionary War. Two days ago I found a photo of my 2nd Great Grandfather. Ancestry's Thrulines helped me break a genetic brick wall. I know Thrulines depend on family trees which aren't always accurate but if they are correct, and sometimes they are, your DNA matches can help you find true family origins. It's certainly worth investigating.

I've had a world wide membership for over 20 years, spending thousands of $'s to get information. Now I've cut back on my membership you keep sending me hints to Items that I can no longer access. You might want to give your very loyal customers a "break"

I think when you offer hints to subscribers, they should be correct or at least checked to be relevant. Often they may suggest information already in our trees. When Ancestry offers a rating of my work, they are not correcting anything and are not trying to correct mistakes, they
sometimes offer false information.
When looking for others that may be researching individuals, it should not default to the US. If looking for a person in a specific country, it should default to that country first! We also need to correct transcribers, much more diligently
It is a great service, use it most every day.
Just offering suggestions to make the service better. Keep on, keeping on! Thank you.

I won't say "great." It has been interesting. I know a lot more about my families now; however, it is very frustrating to have to sign up and pay for so many features, such as press clippings. I fall into the "older" category and can't afford so many extras.

Ancestry has helped me find my relatives and my friends relatives. My friend was adopted at birth in 1966 with only a few fragments of information on his father.. with DNA testing and current databases I was able to find all his relatives in Sweden and even photos and family stories. He was amazed.

After taking a DNA test, I became more curious about my family history. I discovered there was a name change shortly after an ancestor came to the United States. That led to a whole lot of ancestors in a country I didn’t know was part of my ancestry. I also discovered two ancestors who were accused of being witches in that country. I’m still not finished with tracing all the various family lines. It’s a bit like detective work and really intriguing.

I have had a subscription to Ancestry for almost 20 years. It has allowed me to find literally thousands of relatives in my family tree, and be able to share my discoveries with my family members. The system of reviewing hints on a person's profile is an excellent crowd-sharing way of finding new information that isn't available online elsewhere.

1. You have a large repository of documents but the interpretation often leaves a lot to be desired. 2. I accept it is a public sourced site with people posting photos, etc but when you find a glaring error and bring it to the attention of Ancestry, nothing happens. I end up contacting anyone who has copied this information and informing them of the error.

Found new family branches, can share info with family members.

Great to know

Ancestry DNA allowed me to easily identify my DNA matches and regions.
