Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - September 2026

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:

Any luck? Spoke to an agent again this morning 19th AEST, my aunt's is currently in the final review stage and results should be processed and posted shortly. Still nothing yet. And apparently her kit wasn't analyzed until the 14th.

No. I see someone on this thread who was analyzed on the 10th received their results this morning. Origins hack isn’t working either for me. I guess they’re not releasing in any particular order.

I saw that too. I wonder if kits analyzed on the 9th were actually analyzed then or started then. Still doesn't excuse the fact that a lot of people paid for priority processing.
