It is difficult to determine costs. But the worst part is the site does not offer much
Data which is available many other places.

The Customer services were excellent, however it took forever to get my dna results (6 weeks +). Also, the results were not very granular.

Easy to create a tree but more difficult to handle it and do things with it. That's why I'm glad It's easy to contact the support and get there help.

I did contact them, and an offshore-sounding person said they would get back to me but they never did.

Disappointing results
March 30th, 2021
• Previous review

I was excited to see my results, but I am mystified because I have many German ancestors on both sides of my family tree; as well as strong Scottish and at least one American Indian ancestor, but my results were 81% English with 7.8% Irish, Scottish, and Welsh (can't even pinpoint that?) and 10% Iberian and Scandinavian. My mother had 46% North and West European (again, nothing pinpointed), so apparently I got none of that, although we have 50% shared DNA. Something is not computing. It feels like a scam.

The support is really supportive :) The package didn't reach me because of the local post's fault, but the customer service helped immediately
