Hello Carol! We understand your expectation and appreciate you sharing this with us. Our testing is based on genetics rather than genealogy, which means the results focus on DNA ancestry, ethnicity estimates, and genetic insights rather than identifying specific people in your family tree.
Because of this, the test cannot automatically show the names of ancestors, parents, or relatives unless those individuals have also tested with us and have opted in to participate in genetic matching. Without a matching profile in our database, we are unable to identify or confirm specific family members.
We understand this may not have been the outcome you were hoping for, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the expectations for the service. For any further clarification with your reports, 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. We look forward to a productive conversation with you to ensure you get the level of satisfaction you deserve. Have a great day!
being over charged for what i ordered
My initial experience started with seeing they had charged my credit card for $322.29, when I had ordered the basic test for $129.26. They had added on additional tests. I wrote that I wanted those removed. They did that, but it took several emails to convince them I meant what I said. Then when the test swabs were sent, they included another kit, and were charging me for it, if used. I wrote I did not intend to use it, was I to send it back, and after a couple of more emails...got it taken off my acct. We used the swabs we wanted tested, and paid extra for fast results . This came back in a month's time, and was just an email on line, with some arrows on several countries and some percentages.
I know family lore can be incorrect, but some heritage facts we were sure of, were not evident in the results, and we feel since we did not give them the clues we were looking for, (that they asked for) so they couldn't use them and we would get a true list of results, we are confused as to the genuine results. I guess you get what you pay for, but a months worth of emails amounting to about 8 or more....I have to say I definitely do not recommend this company and if I'd read the other reviews first, would not have wasted my money.
This was a Birthday present for my husband.
Rating their customer service is difficult as they responded rapidly , full of sugar and pep talk, but did not seem to be connected to the real research going on, but was located countries away, at least the persons I spoke had various accents and the connections were poor. I just feel this whole thing was a big waste of time and money....do not use them to get true results and get pressured to buy upgraded tests that might not even be true.

Hello! Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations, especially as this was meant to be a birthday gift for your husband.
We understand how frustrating the billing issues and repeated follow-ups must have been, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Regarding the ancestry results, genetics and genealogy are related but not always identical. Genealogy is based on family records and known ancestry, while genetics analyzes inherited DNA segments. Because DNA inheritance is random, some known family backgrounds may appear in smaller percentages or may not appear prominently in ethnicity estimates.
Results can also vary between companies due to differences in databases and regional classifications. Additionally, not every ancestor passes down detectable DNA over generations, even when there is documented family history from a specific region.
We appreciate your honest feedback and will share it with the appropriate team as we continue working to improve both our service and customer experience. In the meantime, if you need further clarification with your ancestry reports, please reach out to us by sending us an email to support@crigenetics.com or calling our customer care team at USA 1-800-571-9216; UK +44 8002081204. We look forward to a productive conversation with you to ensure you get the level of satisfaction you deserve. Have a great day!
Theircresults are incorrect and their customer support is insulting
Their results did not match other tests I had run nor did their results match my genealogy research. The results were so off-base that I seriously think I gave me else's results. (For instance, the other tests and my research indicated more than 60% of my ancestors come from one country; CRI says I have no DNA from there.) When I questioned them, they told me they don't make mistakes. After multiple questions, they agreed to look into it. That was three-months ago and there has been no follow up nor have they responded to my requests for updates.
This is not a trustworthy company.

Hello Katherine! We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused.
We completely understand why you would be concerned when your CRI Genetics results differ significantly from both your genealogy research and other DNA tests you have taken. We also apologize if any previous interaction made you feel dismissed or unheard.
Please know that genealogy and genetics are not always the same thing. Genealogy follows documented family history, such as names, locations, and family records, while genetic ancestry estimates are based on inherited DNA patterns and statistical comparisons to reference populations. Because of this, it is possible for DNA results to differ from known family history or from other testing companies, especially since each company uses different databases, population samples, and interpretation methods.
For example, a family line associated with one country through records and identity may genetically overlap with neighboring populations due to centuries of migration, border changes, and population mixing. Different companies may categorize those same DNA markers differently.
That said, we completely understand your concern regarding the level of difference you described, and we would genuinely like the opportunity to revisit your case and check the status of the review request that was previously submitted.
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. We look forward to a productive conversation with you to ensure you get the level of satisfaction you deserve. Have a great day!

Hello Roza! We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way about your results. DNA ethnicity estimates can sometimes seem unexpected or confusing because they are based on genetic comparisons, ancient migrations, and statistical modeling rather than recent family history alone.
We would be glad to further review your reports and explain the results in more detail. We have also sent you an email so we can better assist you directly and look into your concerns further.
Please reply to our email with any specific parts of the report that you feel do not make sense so we can review them with you.
Waste of money.
First of all I was very disappointed I had to pay import fees on this - I did not realize it wasn't Canadian. Second - I had to request the return label as my kit did come with one. I paid extra to have the report expedited and now my dashboard says it could take 30 - 60 days to get any Relative Finder matches.
The report I received has no personal information, I already know what colour my eyes are and what shape my nose is. The ancestry information is extremely vague and I quite disagree with it knowing my own ancestry quite well. I feel this was a waste of time and money.
The only positive comment I have is that when I needed to contact customer service in the beginning they were very prompt and helpful.

Hi Lisa! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the import fees, return label process, turnaround expectations for Relative Finder, and your report results.
We completely understand how frustrating this must feel, particularly after paying extra for expedited processing. Please note that expedited processing applies to the laboratory processing of your DNA sample and report generation. Relative Finder matching, however, takes an additional 45 days to be completed from when your ancestry reports were completed or when you opted in for genetic matching.
At CRI Genetics, our main priority is your complete satisfaction, and we want to turn this experience around for you. Regarding your results, we would like to review the details associated with your account and kit registration so we can better understand what may have happened.
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.
We truly appreciate your positive comments about our customer service team and would welcome the opportunity to further assist you and review your concerns in detail.
We look forward to hearing from you and working toward a better resolution for your experience.

Hello Rachelle! We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Regarding the Famous People report, the results depend on the number of famous individuals currently available in our registry that match your specific haplogroup. As for the Relative Finder, matches will only appear if genetic relatives in our database have also opted into the matching feature.

Do not buy from this company
When you buy the genetic test, just know that you will then have to pay even more than you paid for the test to actually access the data you are after. It is a bait and switch tactic.
If you do end up spending the extra $169 for the health data, just know that it is laid out in an incredibly unintuitive fashion, and finding actual information vs derived nonsense is extraordinarily difficult.
I do not recommend this company.

Ansestery report was good
I got my report faster than anticipated. I learned I'm mostly German, which I did NOT know & several other ansestery suprizes BUT I was not impressed with the "Health reports" . They seemed to test for silly things & things that are obvious that I didn't need to pay extra for like if I have blue or brown eyes, if I am likely to smell asparagus in urine.. I wish the health report told me more serious health concerns that really matter. I was happy with the ansestery reports but I don't think the silly things it tells you about your "health" was worth it.

Hi Kim! Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed discovering your ancestry results and the surprises they revealed.
Our reports are focused on ancestry and wellness insights rather than clinical or diagnostic genetic analysis. That’s why some traits may feel more light or familiar, as they reflect general inherited characteristics rather than medical conditions. Currently, our health reports include 100+ insights across categories such as traits, nutrition, wellness, allergies, metabolism, and diet, all aimed at helping you better understand how your DNA may influence your overall lifestyle and well-being. That said, medical DNA testing is part of our future development plans as we continue to expand and improve our services.

CRI Genetics is a total bait-and-switch operation
Do not use CRI Genetics! I felt totally ripped off. The results were inaccurate, the database is severely limited, and they trick you into buying 'credits' ($20 each) to unlock results after already paying a high upfront cost. No raw data download for other platforms, and no real customer support. A total bait-and-switch operation.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. CRI Genetics uses established genetic markers and peer-reviewed scientific methods to analyze ancestry. Our reports are based on DNA comparisons with global reference populations and are designed to reflect genetic lineage, not cultural or personal identity narratives. We’re committed to providing accurate, science-based results.
At this time, DNA testing is not able to identify specific tribes. This is because current genetic science cannot reliably distinguish between individual Native American tribes at that level of detail.
We are continuously improving our research, and if future scientific developments make it possible to identify tribal-level ancestry with confidence, we do plan to include those updates in your results.

We've had nothing but problems even getting our tests to wherever they go to be tested. Stupid me never thought that there would be problems getting our tests back across the boarder into the USA. I know this isn't a CRI issue but it is worth considering if you live outside of the States. Although all the customer service people were fine to deal with, we have had so much trouble getting new kits plus paperwork. Finally, we thought everything was going OK, but one test is being returned again. It's nearly 3 months since I ordered the kits! I have a feeling that I wasted my money on this company.
Update. We requested our money back and within a week we were refunded.
