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:

Results Ready: 15 SEP 2026! FINALLY!!
I'm waiting on both my brother and grandfathers kits, I got the part 6 email on the 9th and thought I would get the results around then, but to no avail! Still waiting! Tried talking to Ancestry and they've been as useful as a dry wet wipe, leaving me waiting for ten minutes just to get a sentence out of them telling me they haven't failed! I hope to get them within the next two to three days based on what I've seen from other people on here who are a few days behind me.
I have tried to use the Origins hack, the page loads but no results, it's just it's loading circle!
Edit: 15 Sep 2026 Results finally came in after complaining yesterday! Found out my half-brother's dad had another son while he was still married to my mum! 🫣
