Ancestry & Health Info Fun--& Thought--Provoking.

Greatly enjoyed the DNA Ancestry Report & Bar Graph, fun, revealing & not a few surprises. I was initially attracted to the Genetic Health Profile, and the details it provided. On the DNA Relatives section I made contact with a first cousin I hadn't heard from in +40 years and we shared some DNA and family history, although she was unwilling to share and compare the detailed Health info, which again was my primary attraction to 23&Me. Overall, pleased with the results and I trust 23&Me will continue to expand the genetic Health traits it samples in the future. A Big Neanderthal Thumb's Up!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this as a gift and it is one the best gifts that I have received in my 45 years. If you love history this is a must! They said that my results would take 6-8 weeks: they took 4. You don't just get your history, but they break it all down for you to understand easily. The whole process is really exciting! So far both of my parents have started this and are as stoked as I was when I started!

The information was so broad that I wonder if the sample was even run. It did not narrow the results to individual countries. I am totally unsatisfied.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was very happy with my results. I am adopted so this information confirmed the little bit I had from the agency. I am very interested in history and genetics in general and this test allowed me to confirm several of my own perdictions about my ancestry too! It was fun!

I was given the kit as a gift by someone who had always heard about a 'rumor' regarding my family's ethnicity. It was just a lark for me and I learned my brother had also received a DNA kit as well.
Well, don't you know, the family rumors were not only NOT true but the results revealed ancestry that actually makes MORE sense to me than the tales passed down through family! Crazily, I feel 'right', finally. My almost 97% Scandinavian and very northern European ancestry might explain why I always felt healthier in very cold climates!(maybe not, but I always said I felt like a polar bear living in the Sahara desert).
This has been so much fun I almost wish there was a point to doing it again.

Incredibly Insightful as an Adoptee

I was adopted as a child from Ukraine and could only guess what my ancestral background was. I received the ancestry and health DNA kit as a Christmas present this year and was finally able to see where my ancestors originated and migrated to and ease my mind on possible health issues. I got my biological sister the ancestry kit and we're hoping to piece together whether we're full or half siblings based on the results, something we may never have been able to find out if DNA testing wasn't so accessible and affordable. I recieved my results recently so there's still a lot I have to learn!
