I was in Ancestry.Au and they F**ked my Family tree too many times to recall, when I searched my family History , there wasn't any descendants in Australia according to the site. My descendants were from the US , I don't know how since my Descendants were from other parts of the world Not the US.

I was using the Free version but each time I complained about THEIR stuff up and their inadequate pathetic record base, they asked me to Upgrade to a Paid Member before they would help me.

I JUST FOUND OUT NOW , THIS MORNING THROUGH ANOTHER SITE MY FATHER DIED LAST YEAR.

ANCESTRY has done nothing to assist me in any way while I was a Member only to F**k things up then have the GALL to ask for money to fix THEIR mistakes.

They are Nothing more than a SCAM site , faking their way into peoples lives, I have only found errors, and FRAUD !!

In summary, I would not recommend Ancestry.com.au to a friend.

The only "help" offered was in the form of "hints" about possible info on family members - all of which was irrelevant as it conflicted with family info I'd already provided, so clearly wasn't relevant to who and what I was searching for.

At the end of the day, it appears that all info held on the site is based on what users have submitted and not on access to official public records. This is a scam, considering that they are charging people to use the site based on the fact that customers will have access to indisputable records from official databases such as births, deaths and marriages - a claim they make in all of their advertising. The whole exercise was a complete waste of time and left me believing that they have some nerve charging people for the info they are... (Read the full review)
