The AncestryDNA Genetic Test Kit has been an incredible journey into my heritage and a deeply enriching experience. From the moment I received the sleek, well-packaged kit, I knew I was in for something special. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the process of collecting my DNA sample simple and straightforward. Within weeks of sending my sample back, the results were ready, and I was blown away by the depth and detail of the information provided.
One of the most impressive aspects of this test kit is the personalized genetic results. The detailed breakdown of my DNA was fascinating, revealing insights into my ethnic background that I had only heard about in family stories. Discovering specific regions and communities that contributed to my genetic makeup was both enlightening and emotional. It’s a profoundly connecting experience to see tangible proof of my heritage displayed so comprehensively.
The DNA ethnicity test results were presented in an engaging and easy-to-navigate format on Ancestry's website. The interactive maps and charts allowed me to explore my ancestral roots with incredible detail. I could see the migration patterns of my ancestors and learn about the historical contexts of their journeys. This enriched my understanding of my family's history in ways I never thought possible.
In addition to the ethnic breakdown, the test connected me with distant relatives I never knew existed. The relatives matching feature has led to heartwarming exchanges and even a few new family reunions. This aspect alone has added tremendous value to the AncestryDNA kit, fostering new connections and relationships that I’ll cherish forever.
For anyone curious about their roots or looking to deepen their understanding of their family history, the AncestryDNA Genetic Test Kit is a must-have. The accuracy, detail, and additional connections it provides make it an unparalleled tool for personal discovery.

some advantages over other testing companies
I've done DNA testing with all of the major companies now. And I've been at this DNA stuff for almost 15 years now. * I found the ethnicity estimate to be just about equal to everyone else. You can get more detail running your own models via gedmatch but for the curious or beginner, this is the easy result. If you just want to know whether you need a kilt or lederhosen or green beer for the next holiday seasons then this works as well, with many particular limitations, as any of the others. * There's no medical interpretation - most don't anymore. You can get good medical results running your raw download through Promethease for a few bucks. If you want to know medical propensities then Ancestry won't help much on its own. * The relationship calculations are pretty accurate and the database is huge. Compared to my other tests, this one returned far more and much closer connections. If you're looking for birth parents and such, this is the place to start. Just remember that the calculator is an estimate and other possibilities exist. - The sampling process was simple "spit in a tube, mail it in" - I much prefer cheek swabs but this gets the job done. - Time was super fast for me - 4 weeks from mail-in. I have a test out with one company that is nearing 3 months to process. - The user interface is pretty simple for newbies but doesn't offer much in the way of analysis tools for those who have DNA experience. Gedmatch can makeup for the shortfall in analysis tools if you can get your matches to upload there. - The ease of creating an attached tree makes for some particularly easy genealogical research to confirm/refute family connections. - The ease of creating an attached tree makes for some particularly prevalent errors in family trees. - yDNA and mtDNA predictive markers are hidden in these results if you want to make an effort to dig them out. - The marketing of this tester has created a large database of folks who were only interested in ethnicity and admixture estimates who have no interest in and won't reply to genealogy queries. Many haven't logged back in since they got their results back. There seem to be a lot of customers who forgot that molecular biology, human origins and migrations geography, and world history weren't their best subjects in school and were expecting this to return an easy result to "grasp it all" in a few minutes. The more you want to dig, the more complex the understanding will become. "DNA for Dummies" is a master's degree - "All You Ever Wanted to Know..." is a PhD. If you get hung up on needing to understand it all in a few short hours then you're going to get very frustrated. Take it in a little at a time. Having spent many $1000's on this hobby over the years, I'm very pleased with this $70 investment into understanding who I am and where I came from. Your mileage may vary.
