ifida...Anything that will add to the information that they have is worth doing.

I am not sure that an Ancestry test is possible due to the limited number of markers available. CODIS requires a minimum of 10, and there are only 9 in the sample. Ancestry requires significantly more than CODIS, although they are different markers entirely. Since there are a limited number of CODIS markers in the sample it is obviously a degraded and incomplete sample. It is reasonable to assume that the same limitation will apply to the Ancestry markers.
