Genetic Ethnicity Test

This product should not be made available for shipment outside the US. To have your DNA sample analyzed you will need to collect the specimen and ship it back to the US so that Ancestry can analyze. However, the postage stamp for the return package is only for within the US. If I you contact Aramex or any other shipping company to send a human specimen, they will ask for a CDC report. I tried visiting govt clinics and calling ministry of health and they all confirmed that this can’t be done if they weren’t the ones collecting the specimens. So this product is useless and you will lose money..

Unfortunately Ancestry DNA company service is not available in UAE Amazon did not mention that when selling the product Now I am punished that they do not want to pick up the product for refund. I need to drive to return the product Very unsatisfying service

Unable to process this DNA test from the UAE.

The test cannot be returned to the US without a non infectious certificate that the 3rd party seller cannot/will not give. We have purchased the test but cannot send it back for analysis.

This product only can be used and shipped in US!!!!!

I am apparently not allowed to say exactly why this product was completely useless, but that is my very solid opinion that it was exactly that.

You can’t send it to US for testing due to customs regulations. The product description should mention this.

This is an excellent starter kit for anyone interested in learning more about or understanding their ethnic roots. We tend to think we're British or Afro/Caribbean, American or European or whatever. The truth is often surprising. DNA testing for ethnicity is still relatively young, but the database is growing and having taken this test, I'm both surprised, impressed and convinced by the results. 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

Bought this when it was on sale and I have no regrets! Process was easy and I get updates from time to time in regards to my genealogy.

I got this authentic DNA kit at a better price than the actual website, during their Mother’s Day sale. The kit arrived and was very easy to use. It gives you step by step instructions to make an account, download the app, register your kit and then take and mail your test. It took just a few seconds to spit into the collection tube and complete the test. There are options to expedite your test results, I did not do that. I had my results within 2 weeks. Interesting to see your results and also the traits you inherited from each parent. Glad I tried it.

My friend originally told me not to get one they are useless. He found out from a family member that his father wasn't his biological father. I helped with his test and was amazed by how good it was. I brought my first test last November and my test came back end of December, my results proved most of my lines but I have lost some(or maybe someone was unfaithful). 72%Irish makes sense. I know some people complain about their results but a lot can make sense if you know history and go back far enough in time. Since December I have brought a test for my mother, her sister, my dad's brother, and my husband. All perfect and making sense. My mother and aunt 100%Irish. Uncle and hubby are mixed. In fact it didn't just say we were Irish it actually marked exactly what part of Ireland. UK born tests are getting a lower amount of 4th cousins and nearer than Irish born as a lot emigrated to America, and I am getting a lot of matches there. All I would say is if you want to find out your make up for fun that's fine. If you are expecting it to work out your tree for you, it won't. You need to have some knowledge of your tree (I started my tree 13+yrs ago), and a lot of time spent on the computer. With help of other online groups and GEDmatch also videos online I have found Ancestry all I could wish for and more. It's addictive. - After my results being back for 8plus months I can say I am still getting new relations coming online. Only thing I don't like is the amount of people who only just do the test for fun and the % of their make up. They you can see only went online for the test on % and aren't interested in Family history research. I have known a few who have found close relatives they never knew about Inc my husband. Delighted to have done the tests, and want to get more... Just waiting for the price to come down lower. Better buying from Amazon as not postage but have brought directly when offer was on with Ancestry.
