AncestryDNA Genetic Test Kit: Personalized Genetic Results, DNA Ethnicity Test, Origins & Ethnicities, Complete DNA Tes
Location and Detail Feature
AncestryDNA communities give you more specific breakdowns of places in your past, helping pinpoint where your ancestors might have lived. They also provide a timeline of historical changes that give you context about the events that shaped the lives of your ancestors over time.
DNA Matches & Matches by Parent* Feature
We’ve designed the DNA matches experience to help you make more discoveries, faster. Use color coding, custom labeling, and other innovative tools to see your DNA connections in the clearest light possible. You can now easily see living relatives who share your DNA and even which ethnicities come from which parent.
ThruLines Feature
Linking your family tree to your DNA results can reveal new chapters of your family story. You might find out how your DNA matches fit into your family tree or learn new details about the ancestors who likely connect you.
Ethnicity Inheritance*
Now you can see how each parent contributed to your ethnicity estimates without your parents even taking a DNA test. It’s all made possible by SideView, a specialized technology developed by Ancestry that uses DNA matches to determine which parts of your DNA came from each parent.

I got this for what seemed like a good price but unless you buy a subscription to Ancestry you will not get the most out of the results and being able to connect with others and find relationships.
Again once again it was bought for Christmas gift they loved it I don’t know they’ve heard back yet but hopefully soo
Love this, I’ve found cousins who are still living and share family memories as we have great grandparents in common. Would highly recommend. The ethnicity part is accurate too.
After having done a lot of family tree research with ancestry.com bought this as a present for my wife.
The DNA profile very closely matches the family history we have discovered for her, including Scottish and Irish ancestry.
Take quite a while for the results to come through.
Fantastically quick delivery and very easy to use. The kit I instructions were simple and the whole process very easy to follow. The only negative was the need for a Ancestry account- a free account allows you to access your results but a paid account is needed to contact and prospective links.
Very happy with this product and the service and value for money.
easy to use, helped trace relatives i never knew i had. Well worth getting, you will never know what you might find.
I have found 10 new cousins, with this and expanded my family tree no end.
Hi I’ve been trying to find out a way of cancelling my membership but don’t now how
My bio mum who I met 35 yrs ago would never tell me who my bio dad was She found it too distressing but to only know half of me I found very distressing to Mainly for my son and granddaughters health
I did ancestry and at the top if my list of DNA matches was a shared DNA match that could only be a half sibling A sister
At 70 I found out who my dad was and that from being an only one ( with the most amazing patents anyone could have ) I had all told 12 half siblings
I am very much in character like my bio mum and look like a mixture of them both hurrah I have a nose like someone else !
My bio mum is 92 in a few weeks and is still charging around A 4’11” powerhouse I love to bits My bio dad is dead now but I believe was a great bloke My adoptive parents were the best in the world who gave me my values in life and I miss them every day even now
So all in all I now know I am made if 4 wonderful people
The last piece of the 70 yr jigsaw was made by ancestry
Bought as a christmas present for my partner along with ancestry membership. As far as i’m aware, accurate results and a happy chappy.
Bought as a gift . The results seemed quite accurate but Western European could be so many places to be honest. My dad was excited to get the results but didn’t think that the results to be amazing . Everything was online also and we were constantly prompted to pay a membership which we didn’t do.
I found it to be a lot of money for what it is.
Bought as a present recipient happy with the item and the results.
Results obtained from using the kit seem to meet expectations

Very interesting to do. Find family matched by our dna across the world. Made contact with cousins that we never knew we had in America, New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii.
Bought for xmas. Thought once you had purchased it you could use Ancestry to find out about family….but cant.
Kit just tells you DNA findings , you have to make a monthly payment to look at family history ect.
Bargain price, sent my sample off straight away so I’m just waiting for the results. Ancestry update at each stage and the instructions and process is so simple.
Utterly ruined family stories of having Flamenco-Spanish ancestry. Turns out I’m Nigerian.
Aside from that, it’s fun (ish). Don’t do it if you have a dreamy idea of family history, it can only get worse 😉
Pricey too. This one was a gift fir my mum who wanted to do it.
Arrived within 3 days of order. Cheaper than ordering via Ancestry

Ordered this a little while ago arrived safely easy to use and my results are due end of december so I have only had to wait about 4 -5 weeks
SUPER ACCURATE AS REGARDS LOCATION BUT DID NOT DETECT MIXED ANCESTRY. THE INFORMATION COULD HAVE BEEN AS EASILY BE OBTAINED BY KEYING IN YOUR OWN POSTCODE !
If you are holding any family Secrets. You want to keep them a Secret. DO not buy this product. Ancestry will name print every one who has or close DNA. If u hoped it would stay Secret. Forget it. You have been warmed.
I love this test and the amazing knowledge it can provide about family and ethnicity. Would definitely recommend.

If you’ve been doing family history for any length of time and have reasonably comprehensive family tree, then you’ll probably find this test very useful.
To get the most out of this test you’ll need to also buy an Ancestry subscription of some sort. Don’t rush into this, since you’ll probably be offered a decent discount at some point, once you’ve got you DNA results.
There are two elements to the results, namely your Ethnicity Estimate and your DNA Relatives.
As the name suggests your Ethnicity Estimate is a best guess at who where your immediate ancestors most likely came from. My partner and I both have British and Irish ancestry for at least 5 generations, so no surprises there, although the estimates are very accurate. To my surprise they picked out South Sutherland on my side and Durham on my partners side – both very small areas and both correct. All other areas were correct too and my (recent ethnicity) was spot on – slightly more English and the Scottish, with a bit of Irish. This element is more about fun than serious genealogy.
The other part of the test is to help you find close DNA relatives and confirm any family tree you might have. You get these results no matter what, but to get the most of them you’ll need at least basic family tree built on Ancestry and an Ancestry Subscription (UK was okay for me, but an International one may be more useful for some).
Ancestry have done a decent amount of work on this recently, an it’s DNA hints are getting very useful and seem very accurate. My partner now has 80+ confirmed relations (ie. their tree matches up with yours at some point). This have allowed us to confirm almost all branches of our trees back to 3rd great grandparents and beyond (including one 8th Cousin!). No need to contact any of your matches unless you want to!
We’ve also 23andme tests and used MyHeritage – both useful but nothing like as helpful as Ancestry.
I’d recommend this product.
Can’t prove it’s accuracy but it’s turned up a few unknown relatives!
I enjoyed the research about my ethnicity and it was accurate.
The product is easy to use and the feedback from ancestry was excellent. They say it takes 6 weeks but it took 10 weeks for me, that was the only downside
Ive been wanting to do a dna test for a while but never been able to afford one. I promised my late dad i would do it for him to help trace his family around the world. Its totally amazing to say i have 5% Swedish is a surprise. Would definately recommend to any genealogis
I have purchased 5 of these kits so far, one for myself and 4 for other close family members. Having been doing genealogical research for nearly 20 years, this was a must for me.
The ethnicity results are far more accurate than other tests and it is lovely to see your paper trail proved, even down to the exact counties in Ireland and England. The results are updated periodically as Ancestry add more markers.
Unfortunately, I feel some of the people complaining don’t actually have a very good grasp on how DNA works and recombines!
This was a Christmas present for my son in law. He was delighted with i

Very easy to use and Ancestry Testing kept me informed on progress continuously.
As far as I am aware, results were accurate. I was very satisfied.
In terms of finding relatives it’s amazing and I’ll be for ever thankful for that! But the ethnicity estimates were a little strange.

Both my son and I have done the test. Having already built my family tree the test matched what’s i knew and also added extra members into my family tree. Plus, my son, who had family in the US, had a ‘community’ of Mormons in the Utah area. It’s magic (or science…)
Bought this for my wife and she loved it! Her parents and sister have since also purchased the kit. (Let’s hipe it all matches up!)
Top marks!!
Easy to use, just dropped it at the postal office with no additional cost. My results came in 3 weeks, my husband’s in 5.
The results were accurate
I found cousins and finally know my ethnicity. Thank you
I bought this as a present for my husband. He’s very pleased with it.
Came highly recommended. Easy to use. Don’t know about accuracy yet! Free p&p thro Amazon as opposed to 10 direct from Ancestry.com
I bought this as a present for my husband. He’s very pleased with it.
FRom the information that I have received from the results have far exceeded any of the families expectations. Dependent on who submits their DNA but the database ie far greater than I have imagined. The information received back is priceless.
Heard good things about the ancestors report. My friend was very happy with the results.

Bought as a gift. We’re still in the same will so I assume they got the result they wanted. Get a sibling to buy one and save yourself 90.
Know the results yet but at least everything was clear and precise.
Unfortunately I only got an email reply on my ancestry. Considering that we spend money on this, we should have at least got something written posted back to us.
Purchased this kit for a relative’s DNA on Cyber Monday and it arrived on Thu. The offer (49) was the lowest price this year. (Note: Ancestry UK website was the same price but charged shipping). Easy to use instructions and pre-paid postage to lab (just hope sample is not lost in Christmas post).
For those wanting the test for relative matching (rather than ethnicity) you should know that whilst Ancestry do have the largest database, the vast majority of the tests in the system are North American, so unless both you and they have a big family tree you may find it difficult to ascertain the common ancestor. Hopefully as the cost of the test becomes more reasonable more people from the U.K. will take it, however if they are not interested in family history you will just get a DNA match but no Tree. For family history results always try to get the older generation to take the test as they are one (or two) steps closer to your ancestors. Note the test results can be transferred to other sites (My Heritage/LivingDNA/GEDMatch) to compare with other databases but Ancestry themselves don’t accept transfers in.
Little did I realise that when my results came back from this simple and very fast test would seem to confirm a very distant and minor branch of my family tree….a link back to the eight century in what is now mid-Northern France.
How else could this have been revealed, not to mention the umpteen other links that have shown up through others submitting their DNA results on Ancestry.co.uk. More 2nd, 3rd and 4th than you could reasonably shake a stick at!
Get the kit, supply a bit of saliva, send it off and wait, it’s that simple!
Highly recommended
I bought for a Christmas gift for my husband. He was thrilled
My Ancestry DNA kit came in on time, just as it was expected to come with no delay straight to where I live. My Ancestry DNA results was exactly what I expected
Still a work in progress but fairly simple to use. I only give it 4* as the product packaging wasn’t great in my case, will add a further review later.
Amazing. So cool to see details of where I come from!
Very interesting. I found out I’m part Norwegian and met some third cousins! I would not have paid full price for this as it’s quite steep but it goes on sale pretty often. Wait until you find it at least 30% off! I got it 50% off on Black Friday.
Very interesting but it’s too expensive to follow up the research
I’m really impressed with the results and ease of use. An awesome Christmas present and cheaper from Amazon than Ancestry’s own website.
Mrs M.
Was a gift for a friend, she was happy with her results
Prices kept changing ridiculously before Christmas 2018. Kit itself was easy to use and explained well.

Got this for my husband as Xmas present. He was always mentioning how he would like to do one so the present was well received. Shipped off the sample the other week so still waiting on results. Will be getting one for me and our son too!
Great product. Quick and easy to buy and send off to labs… only takes 6 weeks or less for results to appear online.

Bought for my partner for xmas and he said best GUFT he ever rwcwuves aerive was brilliant all ia so easy to do now he found 4 cousins that he never knew he had
Unfortunately my sample didn’t work so waiting for a replacement
I can’t wait to find out my heritage
The results were very professional and clear as umyou would expect and were certainly fascinating. It allowed us to see the supposed movement patterns of DNA as it crosses from country to country and fits in with my small part last of Italian ancestry movement around 100 years ago. These little aspects that ancestry.com can draw upon from their database seems to be what makes this the superior option when purchasing DNA testing kits. Would highly recommend if you wish to trace your family history.
Very interesting to find all the relations I have some connection too. Ancestry is a great site but this kit does feel very over priced for what it actually is/does.
Lowest price ever .. I got this for a gift and they loved i
Purchased at lower price than normal and small postage charge.
I have also uploaded my raw data to ‘my heritage’ – which is free; so it will be interesting to compare the differences.
The picture is a sample so you get the picture as it were.
She practiced the saliva without bubbles technique to spit into the tube which was a good idea. Sadly this then showed up she had some Welsh in her. Use this method with caution LOL.
For those wanting to know at least a little about your ancestors without years of research to find exact family members then this is for you. You too who want to know all your family history.
Bought as a bday gift for my wife. She loved it. Process did not take as long as expected. Results were as expected but also some unexpected ones. Might buy one for me as well.
My husband had a less full tree so his results were more exciting, and the DNA matches helped him find the person he was looking for and fill in the missing information.
Definitely worth the money when it’s on offer, especially for those who are adopted, or don’t know the identity of a father/grandfather etc.
At this price had to buy one!
My roots are diverse. There was no way that could have been known by Ancestry as I’m not a member. The test is easy; you provide a saliva sample in a tube, seal it and send it. Postage prepaid. Sit back and wait for results. Mine took 5 weeks, with a couple of progress updates.
The readout is informed and comprehensive. A pie chart ethnicity breakdown with detailed region specific analysis and an illustrated history. Possible socio/economic influences which are likely to have affected movement of people. In my case, the overwhelming Scottish DNA profile was unexpected, but with the explanation of the story provided by Ancestry, it makes sense. Also some interesting genetic connections to Andeans and native Americans which were a surprise.
The results also identify possible people matches; Ancestry members to whom there’s a direct connection. I’ve contacted a couple on my list and unearthed some family detail which is new to me.
This is a basic test. There are other mitochondrial kits for the maternal line, specifically and another for the paternal side. But they’re more expensive. The Ancestry DNA ethnicity test is an excellent introduction to who you really are. I’m convinced the results are accurate and relevant, impressed with the detail provided and there’s loads of ways to add more info without actually subscribing to Ancestry. This is more than fun, it’s a building block for a bigger story. Excellent value
It worked very well in both directions: delivering the test to Germany was fast, sending back the test to Ireland prepaid took some time, but finally worked very well too.

Quick delivery, quick completion and quick results. Really nice for a birthday gift.
