Found lost families
I’ve been doing Family History for many years and have found a family I never knew existed. My father really did have Cousins, Aunts and Uncles and I found another family who never knew we existed through DNA. Grandpa had families on both sides of the continent.

I dont understand why everything in this site is behind a pay wall. And a very expensive one at that. Absolutely everything. Its so disappointing and now wants to connect to your Google or Apple account for extra security. Like who on earth wants to steal a family tree they have to pay a gazillion dollars to access any part of at any time. You fet a dna test and have blood relations guess what. You cant access unless you pay. One thing you want to look up and explore. You pay. There are other sites so much cheaper. And they dont own the information they just won't ket you access it unless you pay. And you pay every month not even a one of payment.

Many thanks for getting in touch, Darlene. We're sorry to hear of any unmet expectations from our website so far, and we can certainly offer some insight.
We can confirm that we offer two services on Ancestry that offer different things.
Our AncestryDNA test will provide an Ancestral Origins report, which will detail the regions that you've inherited from both sides of your family over the last 500 years. That Origins Report is a fun and interactive way to learn a little about what your DNA has to say about the parts of the world where your ancestors may have lived in generations past. The service also offers a DNA Match list. That list will comprise of others who you share DNA with who have also tested with us. They can range from close family to distant cousins. The Matches in particular can be a great resource when wanting to connect with biological family and collaborate to uncover previously unknown details about your family tree. While no membership is needed to take the test, view the results, or view and message your Matches, a membership would be required for our research tools in addition to the historical records that we host.
We offer several different membership levels and payment options so our users can choose the subscription that suits them and their research needs best. While we do not own most of the collection we host, the records are sourced from various archives and record offices from around the world. We have dedicated teams tasked with negotiating agreements with these archives and record offices so we can publish the existing records on our website. These then need to be scanned, transcribed, and indexed so they can be searched for on our site. The record databases, which host more than 70 billion records, and the website, including our members' 130+ million family trees, and the research tools that we offer, require huge computer servers around the world, which also require a team of individuals to manage and service. This work, along with a variety of other factors required for the day-to-day running of our website, requires funding, which is covered in the cost of our memberships. With that said, we do our best to ensure a quality service at a competitive price, including offering sales and discounts at different points throughout the year, if you'd like to keep an eye out for future sales.
While you don't need to connect your Google or Apple account for extra security, we do give our users the option to sign in using their Google or Apple accounts if they prefer. We're grateful for the opportunity to stress that this is completely optional, and you are not required to sign in with these options if you would prefer not to. We do, however, require members to ensure they have Two-Step Verification enabled to view their DNA Matches. We take the security of your (and indeed all of our members') personal data and family history very seriously. Genealogical research can often include things of a sensitive nature, which could cause problems if they fell into the wrong hands. This feature is in place to provide an extra layer of protection for 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.
Thanks so much for getting in touch so we could offer this insight. We do hope that this helps to address your concerns, but if you'd like to share any additional suggestions with us on how we can improve, we'd love to hear from you, and you'll be welcome to submit your feedback with us here: https://bit.ly/44XUsfy

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand how frustrating it is to receive a record hint only to find out it requires an upgraded subscription tier to view. Because hints pull from our entire global database, including international archives and specialized collections like Fold3 or Newspapers.com, access depends on the specific record collection and your current membership level. To help make global and premium records more accessible, we regularly host sales for existing members. You can sign up here to get notified when our next discount goes live: https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Signing-up-for-Promotional-Emails-from-Ancestry

Thanks to Ancestry I found my great grandfather!
When I joined Ancestry in the late 1990’s, I was desperate to determine the real identity of my maternal great-grandfather Henry Sawyer, who died in Victoria in 1879. My mother had told me he had been an English sailor. Henry’s Victorian marriage record showed him as being born in Suffolk, England in 1837 to Henry Sawer and Sarah Easey. However, there was no record of this Suffolk family. Ancestry did show a Henry Sawyer of his age entering Victoria from New Zealand, and I surmised he could have been there looking for gold.
Widening my Ancestry search beyond Suffolk, I found a Henry Sawyer born in Hampshire England in1835 with parents Henry and Sarah. Sarah’s maiden name was Macey, which sounded like ‘Easey’ and her son had also been an English sailor who had visited New Zealand. For some years, I was convinced that the Hampshire Henry was my great-grandfather. However, in 2017, I was embarrassed to discover that this Henry had been killed in action during an English Navy military action in West Africa. I was forced to continue my search.
Recently I found a distant maternal Ancestry DNA match with a descendant of the Thurkettle family showing a lineage from Sarah Easey who had lived in Dunwich, Suffolk when Henry was born. (Henry Sawyer stated on his marriage certificate that Sarah Easey had been his mother and that he had been born in Dunwich). However, this Sarah had been married to a Joseph Dix. Back in the early 2000’s I’d probably looked at this match and discarded it because the husband was not a Sawyer. Now, because of the Ancestry DNA connection, I examined this family more closely.
I saw that Sarah and Joseph had a son Alfred born 2 April 1839, which approximated the birth date and location given by Henry Sawyer in his marriage certificate. Unfortunately, the Thurkettle family site I saw on Ancestry.com did not show that Alfred had an older brother Joseph, who had been born nearly 12 years earlier in December 1827.
In an online discussion with another descendant of the Dix family, the site manager queried my hypothesis that Alfred might have been Henry Sawyer because Victorian hospital and asylum records of his age, around 51 when he died in 1880, did not tally with the known age of Alfred Dix at that time, of about 41. It is significant that both of the Dix brothers were apprentice merchant navy seamen. Neither of them had recorded deaths and either of them could have been Henry Sawyer in Australia.
The fact that Henry Sawyer was using the second real given name of Joseph Henry Dix (b.1827), taken together with his age matching the 1880’s Victorian hospital and asylum records, and the fact that I have several DNA matches with the Dix family strongly suggests that Joseph Dix was Henry Sawyer, rather than Alfred. In my view, while it is still possible that Alfred Dix was Henry Sawyer, the age difference alone strongly favours Joseph Dix being Henry. We may never know what happened to Alfred.
A further connection to the Dix family came from looking at the names of Joseph’s siblings. I was intrigued to discover that their names were reflected in the names Henry Sawyer gave to his children in Australia. Henry's first son Oscar was named after Joseph’s brother, as was his second child Alfred. My grandmother Louisa Priscilla was exactly named after one of Joseph’s sisters, as was his daughter Emily.
Lastly, it is possible that Joseph Dix knew the Hampshire Henry Sawyer when they were both sailors in the English Navy and adopted his identity when he deserted.
Without Ancestry DNA, I might never have made this important connection.
Sydney (John) Wright. November 2026.

Changes in Hints
I have over many years, in the Hints, found many records to confirm my family groups.
But most recently, sadly, I have found some of the hints are so far out in details, names and year ranges etc, they are just wasting my time looking at them.

My continuous reseach using Ancestry
I regularly look at Ancestry Hints and therefore cannot simply refer to one specific experience. Often they lead me to further research a name or an occasion. Whilst I certainly use a few other Family Tree sites, I probably use Ancestry for 90% of my work. The staff at Ancestry are always very obliging and keen to assist

Ancestry is a fabulous research site. Have a go!
Ancestry usually provides all the details I need to link my family together. Sometimes research takes a long time but often others have already found the family I am searching for. The hints and family trees that others have already found makes researching very enjoyable. They are not always 100% correct but as more records become available constantly accuracy can be updated.
