Does "can add the children" to the family account mean you have too?

[HelanaAngel]

My mother sent in her DNA without activating an account because she met has no access to computers. How can I activate this for her now

so when you get a DNA test through ancestry you get a few special extras when you start up a tree on Ancestry...well we did..Hubby still has them actually...
well here I am I sign up for the full kit and caboodle for 6 months and when this ran out Ancestry took all those little extras attached to the DNA test bonuses... mmm so now I get to view my tree, yep thats it...I get to view my tree and thats it, nothing else...
DO NOT DO ANCESTRY GUYS ... THEY RIP YOU OFF AND DO NOT REPLY TO YOUR QUESTIONS WHEN YOU ASK THEM WHY THEY DID THIS TO YOU...

What does England Wales Northwestern European represent
Indigenous Celtic people or Anglo Saxon Since it was originally called Great Britain and that was categorized as Anglo Saxon?

ancestry dna is only a guessing game for genetic 'heritage'.. yes it is accurate on who is related to you but not where your ancestors are from.. the american-irish genealogy interest is large so they are catering to their consumers.
