Ancestry Genealogy Service Review

You may have seen some television commercials for Ancestry, but how much do you really know about this genealogy service? Overall, we thought Ancestry lived up to our expectations.We liked how user-friendly their website interface was and found most everything we expected from a site such as their own.

We liked the fun features they offer such as OneWorldTree, the audio storytelling function and a great, two-week free trial. Many of their competitors do not offer very long or any free trials at all, which we applaud Ancestry for considering.
  • Add photographs and personal stories into family trees
  • US Census Collection, detailed learning center, upload existing family trees.

6Star Reviews admires the extensivity available through Ancestry and appreciated the online demos and informative genealogy articles. We must make mention of their online store, where customers can purchase all things family tree-like books, photographs, atlases, journals, etc. Monthly membership sits at $19.95, which is a little high, but we understand how all-encompassing this genealogy service is, and expected a fee such as the latter.

Customer support through email and live chat were thorough and accomodating all in all. For all of their incredible features and commitment to superiority, we give Ancestry our Most Popular spot at 5.5 Stars!
