Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024
My wife bought this kit for me for my birthday as I was adopted on my fathers side of the family and we were interested in finding out what that looked like genetically. My mothers parents were off the boat Norwegians and we have quite a bit of documentation on their lineage back to the late 1,700's, but nothing from my biological father.
I got the results back and they said 7% of me is British Isles, which kind of makes sense. However, according to this test, I am 91% Western\Central European. First of all, If you look at the map that description covers an enormous area so doesn't tell me anything. Secondly, I know for a fact at least half of me comes from the Scandinavian countries and this worthless kit didn't even detect that.
I'm sure there are better kits available, so please don't waste your money on this one just because it's easy to use. If it doesn't provide you quality data, then ease of use doesn't matter.
This test was given to an older relative who was unable to spit in a tube which is needed for other ancestry tests. Instead, this test allows you to swab the tester’s cheek, which made the process much easier to perform on my family member.
Although the DNA relatives database seems to be smaller than other companies (meaning the sample pool in which ethnicities are drawn from is not as diverse), this test still gave me insight on my relative’s ethnicity breakdown and y-DNA. I believe this is the basic testing kit, and I know there are other kits that go deeper into y-dna and mtdna, but they come at a much steeper price.
Like other companies, you are able to download your raw dna files once they’re available to you. The turn around time for the test was maybe about 2 weeks before I received an email about the ethnicity results. Then maybe 2-3 weeks later, the y-dna results were ready for reviewing as well.
FamilyTreeDNA isn’t quite as user-friendly as other ancestry/genealogy DNA testing services, but it wasn’t difficult to learn how to use their website and the information you receive from your results. I did have some difficultly with trying to create a family tree through their service because it said my screen display (on my phone, tablet, and laptop were all too small).
From my understanding, it seems like since I’ve done one test already with them, that if I wanted to upgrade to a better y-dna test, I would not have to submit another DNA sample. (I hope to try this in the future.) This is a really great feature because the relative I tested might not be able to give another sample a few months from now.
I believe it’s important to note that you can only have one DNA test per account at the time I am writing this review, unlike other websites which allow you to manage multiple DNA results under one account. There is also no app available (as far as I can tell) to use these services or view your results. You have to do it from a web browser.
*Make sure you save your kit number somewhere before you send off your results. This is needed every time you log in to your account.
AncestryDNA requires an expensive subscription service to make real use of this product. Be sure to look at the Family Plan for discounted rates for 5 individuals, and keep an eye out for the $1 for 3 month starter subscription! However, Ancestry found 35,000 matches to my DNA.
They now offer a feature, ThruLines, which can identify the Most Recent Common Ancestor ("MRCA") between you and a match if there is sufficient family tree to link you *** and that information doesn't have to be from your own family tree ***.
My Grandmother's story? Her father looks to be the brother of the man she thought was her father. ThruLines was able to establish an MRCA through the wife of the brother.
Ancestry has an interesting feature where they can determine which of the two pairs of each of the 22 autosomal chromosomes belongs to which parent if you can identify to which parent some of your matches are related. It does seem to make mistakes, such as identifying some matches, including the above MRCA, as belonging to my father's side of the family. I still need to delve deeper into my father's side of the family, but I am reasonably satisfied at this point.
Ancestry doesn't do mtDNA or Y DNA tests-- and the fact they threw out all the results of these tests in the past, leads me to believe they never will.

As it states that I am DNA related to people who are actually married into my family, probably won’t work as good if u don’t have other family members who have tested in the past
