FamilyTreeDNAReviews of familytreedna.com

I have had all my family members test with Family Tree DNA and use their applications almost daily (there are no monthly or annual fees once you have tested). The results have opened doors into my genealogical research. Their Y-DNA testing is world class. There is a wide range of surname, Y-DNA and Mitochondrial DNA groups you can join, with outstanding administrators who will help with your research and assist in connecting your results with others you are matched to. The company puts data security as a top priority, and I have never had concerns in that area.

Y-DNA and mtDNA testing I've been a customer since 2019. I have been very happy with the company. Their website has improved greatly, especially the Y-DNA part. The mtDNA is up next. The real value is in the Projects. You have experts in all aspects of Y-DNA working on your Y-DNA family tree.

Folks, I feel like a lot of the horrible reviews here were posted by the same person who for some reason has a vendetta against FamilyTreeDNA. I use Family Tree DNA to research all of us in the U.S, England, Australia and elsewhere with the Hersey surname. Yes, you do need to reach out to others to join your surname project and do the BigYDNA test which is pricey. But if you want to find your patrilineal origins there is no better test than the BigY. I have learned the path of my paternal ancestor over the past thousands of years. And as my distant Hersey cousins do their tests I’ll learn more and more. Google Hersey Family Project and you will learn more. None of this would be possible without FTDNA. Side bonuses are learning my ancestral makeup, meaning the countries/areas my entire family was from. Cheers, Steve Hersey Alexandria, Virginia,USA

wasted my money they show nothing make me quit look for dna test

When you try to talk to the people at this company they are dumb as hell.they cannot complete sentences to explain the results of your test which should have been included when you received the test

1. Their response to a librarian, library worker, & my inability to post from a desktop computer to a Group Project showed Zero Comprehension 2. In early '24 Unsubscribing to their Unwanted Emails they attempted to persuade me to change my mind. And, Unlike Normal Business Practice they sent an email confirming my unsubscription.

Total waist of money… you can read the other reviews for specifics. This Company promises but is just a scam… I wish I had read the reviews.

Really poor website. No really helpful for tracing DNA matches and woeful for viewing and a DNA matches tree I have tried to delete my DNA kit from the site and it is impossible. Cant be done onsite and you need to contact customer service. Still ongoing after 3 contacts and jumping through hoops. Cannot recommend FTDNA
