My true ancestry
« on: Friday 27 March 20 21:43 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Iv'e just had an ad pop up on my f/b page for "My True Ancestry" so I went to the site. It says I can upload my DNA results for free and my basic analysis is free. Does anyone know if this is worth doing and if the free thing is actually worth it. There's costs for more n depth stuff too.

Thanks

I have never seen any of the genetic genealogy experts recommending its use. When it first started its over enthusiastic advertising there was a lot of scepticism.

I don't trust the site. The free options are extremely limited and it just seems to be wanting people to spend hundreds on various "upgrades" that aren't really worth anything valuable.
