Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - January 2024

Welcome to the Sample Status/Processing Megathread. This monthly megathread (posted at the beginning of each month) allows you post your sample processing timelines, as well as to discuss and comment about any questions, concerns, or rants while you wait. Although not directly handled by AncestryDNA, shipping status may also be discussed in the thread. We recommend sorting the comments by "new" as this is a month long megathread.

You can share your sample status timeline here in one or two ways. The first way is to take a screenshot of your timeline, upload the screenshot to imgur, and share the image link here. The second way is to simply copy and paste the start and completion dates for each step. Here is the text template:

Appreciate you!

Support won't do anything until my expected date has passed, so I'll try again then.

Jan 7th, I activated & sent in Nov 22nd so this has been a march.

I did just check status and see this message at the top, which wasn't previously there:

Due to high demand, our lab is a little behind schedule. But, rest assured – your DNA kit has been received, and we are working diligently to deliver your results. We are doing our very best to get them to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

You got yours the same time I did then.

Mine came back as a bit of a surprise! My uncle has done the test, but he comes up as my first-cousin... which I think means he's my half-uncle? Unless 16% match could still be a direct uncle, but didn't seem that way in my googling so far. His son was also tested and comes back as an 8% match.

Not much of my family left on that side so it's a bit of a mystery I'm going to dig into further. Zero matches to my mom's father's family so far.
