The details

Ancestry started as a way for people to explore their genealogy by accessing historical records like marriage certificates, military records and immigration and travel data.

Today, through the magic of DNA testing, Ancestry is making it easier for users to learn about their roots via AncestryDNA. The DNA testing service provides users with ethnicity estimates by region and can help identify new family connections. You can still explore your ancestry and DNA results without making yourself open to connecting with potential relatives; all you have to do is opt out of the feature to communicate with people.

While there are other DNA kits on the market, Ancestry offers the largest database of samples (approximately 18 million samples to compare your DNA to), providing greater accuracy in ethnicity estimates and increased chances of matching with relatives.

What others are saying

⭐️ 4.3/5 stars

💬 600+ ratings

🏆 "Surprisingly accurate background on family history."

One pleased shopper said they had "an enlightening experience" with this DNA kit. "The process was straightforward and user friendly," they wrote. They also confirmed the "instructions were clear" and that the "breakdown was incredibly comprehensive."

Someone else called it "so cool" and said it "was nice to know where we hailed from."

Another reviewer claimed, "Ancestry is worth its weight in gold." They said they've "had wonderful results" and "discovered information" about themselves that they "never dreamed of."

However, it's important to note that someone said Ancestry's "customer service is useless" — just something to keep in mind.

The verdict

Backed by millions of users, AncestryDNA is a popular method to discover your family's genealogy. If you're looking to learn more about your heritage without the added information of health reports, Ancestry's DNA kit might be for you. However, if you're not ready to pay for a membership to access in-depth details about your family's history, you might want to reconsider — or manage your expectations about what you'll learn with your results.
