Hmmmm had to select 5 star
Hmmmm had to select 5 star - but they get a 1 Star or trust pilot review wont publish
Ancestry is Expensive and then they add pro-tools as an extra monthly cost, things that are included in MyHeritage base subscription. I hate paying extra for protools, things I used to have for free , but theyve carved functions out of the base subcription that now attract a monthly fee - They removed folders from messages - no warning, making it hard to manage correspondence, message respoonse rate 5 in 100, as ancestry only notifies the recipient once - and messages stay unread forever
Huge price disparity depending on your country (USA cheap, Australia expensive every time)

I have tried & tried to get you to correct my account which I am still paying . I can't get into Ancestry and nobody is doing anything about my problem. I have been in touch with Consumer Affairs and nothing is happening. Previously everything was just great but now I wound'nt recommend you to anyone wanting to join. Maybe now I will get some answers. Having updated my subscription I thought I would be ok but not the case Bev Kelly/Waterman.

Hi Bev and thank you very much for reaching out to us with this review. We are very sorry to hear that you are having issues getting into your account for some time now and the matter is still not resolved.
We can understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be and are eager to take a closer look into this for you. We can see that two-step verification is enabled on your account so we've gone ahead and sent you a verification code to your email address. Please send the code to us via email (socialsupport@ancestry.com) along with a quick synopsis of the issue and once the account is verified, we'll then be able to open your account and begin working towards a resolution. We want to assure you that we are anxious to make sure you receive the support you deserve.
The biggest and best data base for…
The biggest and best data base for genealogy and DNA, use it every day and have been a subscriber since 2012. Easy to navigate, but tree owners need to understand that they MUST verify details before copying to their trees - unfortunately there are a lot of incorrect public trees on Ancestry because people just add facts without checking them, this leads to a lot of disinformation being circulated and copied. Ancestry subscriptions (particularly the World and All Content packages) are expensive but they do have a lot to offer. I would have given 5 stars if there were more Asian ancestry content. Though I also subscribe to other genealogy sites, Ancestry is still my prioritized go-to for genealogy & DNA.

Thank you so much for being such a loyal subscriber since 2012 and making Ancestry your daily go-to for genealogy and DNA research!
We really appreciate your honest and thoughtful review. You raised a crucial point that every experienced researcher knows well—verifying facts before copying tree details is so important for keeping family histories accurate. We also hear your feedback regarding subscription value and the need for expanded Asian ancestry records; expanding global coverage and adding diverse collections remains a key focus as we grow our database.
Thank you for your dedication to building accurate trees and for being such a valued part of the Ancestry community for over a decade. Happy researching!

Thanks so much for your recent review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It'll be up to you whether or not you wish to use Two-step Verification; however, please note that this security feature will be required to view DNA Matches and other features that use DNa Match information, including ThruLines.
To offer some further insight into this, having Two-Step Verification as a requirement to view DNA Match information is part of our ongoing efforts to protect yours (and all of our users') information and enhance the security of your account. Please note that when signing in, if you select "Remember this device" when inputting the code, you won't be asked for the code again for several weeks. You can find out more about this here: https://support.ancestry.com.au/s/article/Two-step-Verification
We hope that this information can help to address your concerns, and we wish you every success in your research moving forward.
An amazing discovery …
I only knew my father's and his mothers name and met him for 15 minutes when 8. I asked my closest unknown cousin how we were related and she had her sister respond and she offered to do research for me as she was a long time Ancestry researcher. Over time she and an aunt found the birth certificate of my father but the man on the certificate wasn't DNA related to me but their family was.My father's mother died when he was 8 and he was adopted - we found that family then using their name he married but ran away from her and changed his name (3 changes) and married my mother. We found he was born out of wedlock and as yet not discovered my grandfather, but found my father's half sister on my father's DNA father's side and a half siter on his mother's side. We discovered a piece of music he wrote in the Canberra Library in 1937. The man on his birth certificate also changed his name 3 times so a totally confusing search on Ancestry over many years but impossible without the hints from Ancestry. I don't care how I got here just very grateful I was and now I can follow where different amazing DNA traits were from - eternally grateful to Ancestry. Elaine

Thru Lines
Thrulines using DNA matches has given more than just the hints. One match gave me a lot of info from an Australian on a convict ancestor, while another, an American, has led me to change my tree! Who would have thought a very distant relative in the States had requested a copy of my great grandmother's Australian death certificate only to reveal to the Australians that she was from Ireland, not England, as everyone assumed!

Hi there, and thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate you choosing Ancestry to help you in your research, though we're sorry to learn of any frustration when exploring your tree lately.
On the topic of Hints, we host upwards of 65 billion records and more than 130 million family trees, and add millions of new records each week. This is a lot of information to search through, so Hints are designed to offer some suggestions of records based on information you enter into your tree, like names, dates, and locations. Hints aren't always going to be right for your tree, and when this occurs, you can select "no" when deciding if it should be saved to your tree or not. We are sorry to hear of any trouble with reviewing your hints using the new layout as well, though, and should it help, you can find some additional information about the change here: https://www.ancestry.com.au/c/ancestry-blog/ancestry-news/redesigned-record-page-fosters-easier-discoveries
We hope this can assist you in making the most of your Hints moving forward.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with printing your tree as well. We'd love to learn more about how we can improve that feature, and if you're interested, you can share additional suggestions with us here: https://ancestry.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eaMJAIOG9lwk709
Thanks again for getting in touch to share your feedback with us. We wish you a wonderful evening and all the best in your continued research!
Who was William Hudgson
There are still so many things I don't know about William Hudgson born about 1819.
He joined the army in 1840 and sailed to Australia as a guard on board the Lord Lyndock in 1841.
He married (as Henry Hodgson) in 1843 to Ann Lutman (or maybe Ann Luikman), she used the name Norah Lookman when she married.
On their sons wedding register her has written her name as Ann Luikman, so I/we beleive that was her true name.
He died in India in 1853.
As William Hudgson came here as a guard I have been unable to find who his parents were?

Thanks for reaching out to us with this review, Lawrence. We're sorry that the fact you have been unable to find William's parents has caused such a negative experience for you. If you haven't checked them out yet, we have live webinars weekly, hosted by research experts like Crista Cowan, that we hope can offer some tips to help you piece things together. You can watch these back through the link below. Research strategies are also detailed in the following guide: https://support.ancestry.com.au/s/article/Overcoming-Roadblocks-in-Your-Research.

Not as good as it was
I am a long time member and have seen the product deteriorate over time. Used to be the best now it appears only interested in getting new members. No discounts for long term. Keep changing things that aren't broken instead of fixing the things that are. Adding gimmicky things. Using childish names like "stickies". We are not 6 years old and another unnecessary change. If you call we always get thanked for being a member but never fix the problems. I have issues with the system going back 18 months still not fixed. The list of problems is long but no attempt to fix or explain. Staff don't have the expertise. I ask for replies and nothing comes. I have never had a call back to fix/explain/acknowledge the problems. There actually is no customer service anymore hence hard to find phone number. I am doing a review in the forlorn hope that something might change but not optimistic. Still a great product but has been spoilt

Wishful additions
The information available for search, and the hints provided on individuals is second to none. One aspect missing in searching DNA match filters is the ability to localise your search by "Country" along with existing "Unviewed" "Common Ancestors" "new" etc. It would make trawling through all matches a lot simpler. Thank you

Travelling through the history
Travelling through the history of my family has been a very rewarding experience. The provided hints are great and make it so much easier to find difficult records. In travelling back through both my parents and grandparents I have found convicts and a lead, though distant, to Royalty. And some very interesting characters, some good some bad but then that is what life is all about and it makes us who we are today.

I'm pleased with what I found but there are many, many errors in ancestry and it is hard to challenge the exponentially increasing number of errors I see.
So, while Ancestry is great and my preferred research tool, I take most things I read with a grain of salt.
I also wish there was some consistency in the pricing. Not sure I am getting the value for money i need.

Resposta da Ancestry.com.au
Thank you for your candid review and feedback! You've highlighted a very real challenge in genealogy. Because member trees are created independently by researchers of all experience levels, errors can easily multiply when hints are copied without verification. Taking public tree data as clues rather than proven facts is definitely the right approach.
While Ancestry can't directly edit user-created member trees, we are constantly working on better tools to help flag indexing mistakes in historical records and improve hint accuracy.
We also hear your concerns regarding membership options and pricing structure. We aim to ensure our plans offer genuine value for your research goals, and feedback like yours directly informs how we evaluate our subscriptions and platform features. Thank you for making Ancestry your primary research tool and for helping keep the community focused on accurate genealogy!
Inacurate relationship
They are not identifying my son on DNA. They say my daughter is his full sister .they say she is my full daughter but do not identify my son as a full son. It does not make sense. I have spoken a few times and am told it will be esculated up the chain, but no-one has ever contacted me about tyhe problem Have to use Ancestry as I tested with them but I am discusted that they do nothing about sorting the problem.
