I have had two Ancestry DNA kits done on direct family. I'm still sketchy on the results, and not utilizing them 100% at all. It doesn't come with a whole plethora of laymen instructional terms. I don't know half of what the site refers to. It takes research and time that I don't quite have right now.
As for ease of use, Ancestry was very simple, got results timely, etc. That being said, I also downloaded the DNA files from Ancestry and uploaded them to Gedmatch. I have hundreds of hits on gedmatch, and as it referenced both matches exactly as they are (grandfather and granddaughter) as far as generational match, I'd say it is pretty accurate. Again, I have a hard time reading the data, but the gedmatch info gives you email addresses to other members you match and you can then correspond with them. I have a cousin that did the 23andme.com DNA testing. It seems to have more information medical wise and such. Again, I can't understand it all!
