"FREE Trial" is misleading

Got money I did not agree from my bank account. I understood that a monthly amount was coming out my account, but company took a WHOLE YEAR'S WORTH of subscription!

Be ware!!

Hard to navigate

I get frustrated that when I find a match with someone they then pop as a match for everyone that matches people in my tree. I get fed up of having to confirm matches for tree owners I've already matched. I would like to print out lists of sirnames in my tree with names and relationship to me but can't seem to do this. Compared to other geeology sites I find this one the most difficult to navigate

Refund issued promptly!

The representative I talked to, Tal, was able to wangle me a 50% refund, which is better than I expected.
The refund was processed immediately, which is fantastic.

Finding out about family I didn't know.

Finding out about family I didn't know.
I haven't had touse the staff.
It would be helpful when asking for corrections where the mistakes are.
As I add little original data the mistakes must be from the confirmations I make.
I really enjoy the experience & I complement all the humans that manage the site.
Best regards,
Andrew Pearce.

I ordered 2 kits nearly 3 weeks ago

I ordered 2 kits nearly 3 weeks ago, seems to be lost in transit and absolutely no way to send an email or speak to someone about this. I've tried the vipcare email they give out to people and still got a generic response. Terrible customer service, avoid.

No Human Customer Service

I love the matches, DNA information and options and overall experience....until you need customer service. You now get an AI agent and once you've spent hours of your life finding how to contact said agent, AI email instructs you to respond with Human Agent - only to receive nothing. Had I known there was zero support I would have gone with Ancestry.

the biography which can be made by ki is only in english, not in german.
