tl;dr: Folks want to use ancestry to see where and how it goes. What do they need to know? Is there anything to avoid?

I’m not wild on the idea of submitting DNA swabs for a lot of reasons, the recent issues with genealogy.com’s data being a great example. What of tracing family tree by liniage?

  1. The free trial STATTS with ‘sign in using the following services’ I haven’t gone past that point because I don’t want to hand anything over til they show me where they want payment information, because free trials are seldom free and.

  2. The payment page for full signups constnatly ‘reassure’ that you don’t have to do anything each month it auto renews. my family’s gotten burned on auto renewals before where the other end basically refused to stop taking money out in spite of trying to end services.

  3. Anyone know about the library edition how to find out what libraries have access to that and what’s needed to sign in that way?

    It autorenews and it’s relatively expensive.

    I wouldn’t do that DNA test, because it’s really sensitive data.

    WikiTree is a free alternative to the genealogical database. The genealogy nerd in my life says that its data is a bit better. Ymmv.
