Would love one feature…
melliebelle

I’m enjoying this app. Connecting with a few distant relatives. I would LOVE to have a way to look at the profile of the person messaging me however. I’ve gotten some messages from people but cannot find them on my match list and no option to go to their profile. It tells me the relation at the top below their name, but my only option is to block them. Can we get a view profile option or am I just missing it? Otherwise like it Edit to add….I found the search feature so I can find the profiles of those who have sent me messages. So I changed my rating to 5 ?


Greedy

Ok, I know businesses need profit to make good stuff happen. But every time I log in, ancestry is asking me for more money to discover what may be my story. Can we streamline this already and find a price point that is value added and fuels the business! And the information from DNA is much more dependent on an additional fee than 23 and me. Please give me my $100.00 worth.


Questionable results
mel socal

At first use, I received a certain genetic makeup composition, a few months later it was updated with significant changes. Not sure if either of the results are true or which to believe. It does however find relatives.

For me personally I remembered family stories as a kid so different names started coming back to me as I started research before my test even came back. Some dots didn’t connect or make sense. But once I got my origins & back it started to made more sense…I’m excited to dig deeper


stopped working

The DNA matches has stopped working. The rest of the app works well. There is no app update. Only suggestion is to delete app and download it again. Please help!

Lord Anth0ny

I just want to tell you thank you, I took this test about a year ago to see we’re my ancestors came from and I found out so much more just yesterday I found out who my dads fathers family is he never new what his father looked like or anything about his fathers family in tell yesterday only new his name I texted my second cousin who had the same last name she told me to text her other cousin that told me everything about his family and are stories matched up and now my dads got siblings that want to meet with him he’s spent 37 years not knowing if he would ever see what his father or family looked like and AncestryDNA made that possible thank you!!!!


Found my father
Lex Needs Help ?

Took this test with a friend to help them find biological relatives, and ended up discovering who my father was. He passed away this year, but I got to spend about a year with him.


DNA estimate
bobx614

The changes made in the last year are incorrect,,my mainland European ancestors are now gone, obviously the model is incorrect


Attach to family tree

I truly wish that our DNA would automatically correct any mistakes we make in our family tree and add unknown names as appropriate. I thought that’s what we were paying for but apparently not it sure would help help in our search.


Dad
Betty T 315

Found my father through Ancestry. I only had my birthday, place and a story. The story was that my dad and mom had a one weekend stay. He was on leave from the army and she was deaf. He died a few months before I found him 2017. I do have a two new sisters and many cousins. I always had a empty feeling but it closed when I found my dad.
