Lots of information but not sure how to interpret.

There are endless insights you can take part in but there needs to me more of a comprehensive way to interpret your results instead of just going through each test. There almost needs to be a person assigned to you to walk you through the results and what they mean.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not as revealing as I expected.

My wife and I received the kits as gifts from our daughter's. We both were underwhelmed with the results. The timelines or date periods displayed seem contrived and vague at best.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quite technical

If you want a general idea of your genetic makeup, this will give you that info. Having done family tree work, I learned nothing new and startling. Pretty technical reports are not very well explained or useful. Did not recognize any surname on my list of people related to me. Maybe save your money.

Thank you for your feedback. DNA Relatives locates other 23andMe members that match your DNA. This feature estimates a predicted relationship and range using the length and number of segments and percent DNA shared. When two people share identical segments of DNA, this indicates that they share a recent common ancestor.
Keep in mind that each health, trait and wellness report includes a Scientific Details tab that includes more detailed information.

Great present from my son and family. While I didn't get any big surprises of my ancestry, it did confirm what I've always been told. I loved reading about all the marvelous personalized DNA of just me. Now my daughter and her husband are going to do it.

I found the process I followed for 23and me to be well-described, helpful and easy to follow. I had hoped to find out more about my birth father as I was adopted and know nothing about him. I mostly learned that he had to be of British ancestry.
