Hello Rick! We’re sorry to hear about your concern and understand how upsetting that must feel.

Please rest assured that results are securely matched to each individual kit, but we would very much like to review your case in detail. Native American ancestry may sometimes be reflected within broader regional categories rather than listed by specific tribe.

Kindly reach out to us directly with your kit number and any relevant details so we can carefully investigate this for you and provide clarification. Please reach out to us directly by emailing support@crigenetics.com. You may also contact our customer care team at:

Hi Charles! We’re truly sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience.

Our reports focus primarily on ancestry composition and genetic insights rather than family matching across external databases. Due to our strict privacy policy as well, our relative finder can only match you with customers who also tested with us and opted in for genetic matching. Some individuals may have chosen not to participate in Relative Finder or to keep their results private. In these cases, our system respects those privacy settings and will not display them as matches.

We understand that expectations can differ, and your feedback is important to us.

If you’re open to it, we’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what you were hoping to find so we can better address your concerns. Please reach out to us directly by emailing support@crigenetics.com. You may also contact our customer care team at:

Hi Maria! Thank you for your feedback and we completely understand what you mean. If you already knew your ancestry traces back to Africa and that you’re multicultural, it makes sense that you were hoping for more specific, close ethnic breakdowns rather than broader regions.

Our ethnicity estimates are based on genetic matches within recent generations, and in regions with high diversity, results can sometimes appear more generalized to ensure accuracy.

We'd be happy to take a closer look at your report and provide more detailed clarification. Please reach out to us by sending us an email to support@crigenetics.com or calling our customer care team USA 1-800-571-9216; UK +44 8002081204.

Thank you for sharing your feedback — We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We're very sorry to hear that your expectations weren’t met and that you’ve encountered issues with your results.

The Advanced Timeline Report is a complimentary, algorithm-based analysis designed to provide insights based on the quality of your DNA sample. To ensure accuracy, the report is only generated when results meet a threshold of at least 80%. In some cases, the sample didn’t meet this threshold, so the report wasn’t generated. This can occasionally happen with certain DNA samples when the analysis is inconclusive.

We understand how much this report means to you, and while it’s inconclusive for now, we plan to update our system in the future. Once the system allows, we can attempt to generate your timeline.

Regarding Raw Data download/upload, we currently do not offer this feature to ensure your DNA information remains private and secure. Many third-party websites accepting raw DNA data may use it for data mining or share it with pharmaceutical companies without explicit consent — something we are committed to protecting our customers from.

That said, providing Raw Data access is one of our future goals. We are working on establishing a secure connection to a reliable DNA database, and once available, we would be happy to notify you. We can add your account to our mailing list so you’re among the first to know when this feature becomes available.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to provide secure and accurate DNA insights, and we hope to enhance your experience with these updates in the future.

Following a review by the FTC, we’re pleased to reaffirm the integrity of our scientific methodologies, the quality of our products, and our commitment to ethical operations and strict data privacy standards. The FTC’s concerns were limited in scope and related to certain sales and marketing practices during our early startup phase—practices that were promptly addressed and discontinued.

Regarding DNA results, our reports provide research-grade estimates of BioGeographical Ancestry by comparing a customer’s DNA to carefully curated reference populations. Because human populations share overlapping genetic histories, results may appear broader or different from expectations, especially when compared across companies that use different databases and methodologies.

We prioritize accuracy over precision. Rather than presenting overly narrow regional labels that may be misleading, we group regions in a way that allows us to maintain an accuracy rate exceeding 90%, which is among the highest standards in the industry.

For additional transparency, we invite you to review a statement from our CEO here:

While your DNA itself does not change, different DNA testing companies use different methodologies. These differences include the algorithms used, the size and composition of reference population databases, the genotyping chip, and the specific genetic markers analyzed to generate ancestry reports. As a result, ancestry estimates may vary between companies.

We understand that it can be difficult to evaluate a service based solely on negative feedback. Like all DNA testing companies, we do receive negative reviews alongside many positive ones. It can be especially challenging when customers have specific expectations about what a DNA ancestry test should reveal.

Please know that all feedback we receive is reviewed and handled with the goal of addressing customer concerns whenever possible. However, we stand by our test results, as our ancestry reports provide research-grade BioGeographical Ancestry estimates with a confidence level exceeding 90%, which is among the highest standards in the market.

Our approach to genealogical testing is highly advanced, utilizing expert-designed patented algorithms and artificial intelligence to generate reports. While no ancestry test can be 100% accurate at all times, our methodology allows us to be highly reliable by analyzing genetic patterns, historical data, and statistical models.

Hello JM! Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment this caused especially since you paid expecting to receive your Paternal Haplogroup results.

Paternal haplogroups require Y-DNA data, which is only available for individuals with a Y chromosome. In some cases, the paternal haplogroup may not be reportable due to limitations in the sample data or the testing method used, and we understand that being told to test with another company after purchase can feel unfair.

We’d like the opportunity to review your account and make sure the options offered (credits or partial credit) were handled appropriately and fairly. Please reach out to us by sending us an email to support@crigenetics.com or calling our customer care team USA 1-800-571-9216; UK +44 8002081204 so we can assist you directly and work toward a resolution.

Hi Joanne! We understand your concern and appreciate the time and effort you’ve invested in genealogical research. Differences between ancestry results from CRI and other companies like Ancestry.com can occur because each company uses its own reference databases, algorithms, focus and methods for analyzing DNA. These variations can lead to results that may seem unexpected compared to your documented family history.

Hi Mary Ellen! We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Differences between ancestry results from CRI and other companies like Ancestry.com can occur because each company uses its own reference databases, algorithms, and methods for analyzing DNA. These variations can lead to slightly different results.

Regarding the relative finder, your ancestry report needs to be fully processed and completed before we can match you with other customers. This ensures that the matches are accurate and meaningful, which is why there can be a delay of a few weeks before this information is available.

Thank you for your message. While DNA is DNA and that doesn’t change, each testing company can produce different results. These differences arise from factors such as the algorithms used, our sample population databases, the genotypic chip, sample collection methods, and the genetic markers we analyze to generate your report.

Knowing where you came from can be a powerful experience. At CRI Genetics, we believe understanding your ancestry helps create a deeper connection to your personal story, offering insight into your heritage and the generations that came before you. We’re honored to be part of that journey of discovery.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for giving us the chance to explain. We understand that having ancestor names and specific sources can feel more informative, and we appreciate your perspective.

At CRI Genetics, our ancestry reports are based on BioGeographical Ancestry analysis using advanced genetics and anthropology. Our system compares your DNA to reference populations around the world to estimate where your genetic heritage comes from—including both recent and ancient ancestry—but it does not link your DNA to specific individual ancestor names or exact historical records the way traditional genealogy trees do. This is because we work with genetic patterns rather than documented family records, which aren’t always available or complete for every line in your family tree.

Our reports include features like:

1. A detailed breakdown of ancestral regions across generations

2. Dual ancestry analysis (recent and ancient)

3. A timeline showing how your heritage likely spread over time
These insights are drawn from your genetic data and scientific models, not from historical documents tied to named ancestors.

Because genetic inheritance mixes DNA from many lines, it’s not possible for us—or any DNA company—to pinpoint exact ancestor names and documented origins just from your DNA alone without family trees or genealogical records. That kind of specific linking requires traditional genealogical research, which our genetic reports complement but don’t replace.
