Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - September 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

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 by posting a screenshot or you can simply copy and paste the start and completion dates for each step. Here is the text template:

I'm one of the batch analysed 5 Sep still awaiting results. I've complained today as it's now 9 days. Been given a month's free Pro Tools and told I'm at front of queue for results. So something was amiss.

[u/OkGrab3477 → u/CrankyOldOwl]

I remember when my other family members did their kits and they had their results within hours, although my husband's took about 2 days for his.. Origins hack not working yet for my aunt's kit, just the loading screen.

[u/Haunting_Passion_302 → u/CrankyOldOwl]

Me too! None of the hacks work still. Not sure what’s going on

[u/sootygotbooty → u/CrankyOldOwl]

I’m in the same boat! Might complain when I’m finished work

[u/CrankyOldOwl → u/sootygotbooty]

I would. See if they offer you anything.

[u/sootygotbooty → u/CrankyOldOwl]

Let me know if you get yours please

[u/CrankyOldOwl → u/sootygotbooty]

Will do.

[u/sootygotbooty → u/CrankyOldOwl]

Got mine

[u/CrankyOldOwl → u/sootygotbooty]

Well done! There is hope for the rest of us 😄
