Wonderful Service

I bought a kit for myself about 10 months ago and I'm so happy I did! In fact, I was so happy that a bought kits for my father, mother, paternal grandparents, maternal grandfather, and stepfather. This service is so accurate and correct. I also love the DNA relatives feature! It's so cool how you can find relatives as far as hundreds of years back in your family tree! Thank you 23andMe!
I would recommend this to a friend!

From the use of this product my life has changed forever!
I was an adopted child so up until June of this year I had only 1 known blood relative, My daughter. With the click of a button I discovered over 1173 DNA relatives one of which is my "Bio father" whom only found out about me less than 10 years back. (I am 57)
I met him and learned the identity of my mother whom had passed away over 25 years ago. Through further re search I found my mothers family from which I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters, they have a different father. ( From my bio father 2 additional brothers)
My mother was young and in love (18) and had kept the family secret of my existence, her sisters and brother knew but that was it. My sisters and brothers had known of me but not who I am for about 16 years prior to a phone call I made July 6th of this year. This was a LIFE CHANGING EVENT for me.
We soon met and had a heart felt "reunion". My mother had often thought of me and recorded some thoughts in her diary which my sisters had found, the excerpts of which were shared with me when we met. ( Here is one of them; “When shall we meet again, Where shall it be. Will you recognize me & will I be the same.
There is no need to go searching, for you will recognize me my darling,
for I will radiate your goodness, As we are still one. “ )
I am the oldest, we are all 2 years apart, we have now started a beautiful relationship. We speak (or text) almost everyday.... There is much more to this story and much more to come.... All for now.... Thank You 23 and me!

Genetic testing is awesome!

I'm very happy I signed with 23andMe. Knowledge about oneself is invaluable. A minor issue I have is with the way questions are sometimes written. One such was something to the effect of "do you take a multi-vitamin most days". I skipped it because I don't take a multi-vitamin but do take all the necessary vitamins. Thus, like other questions, I was not sure how to answer it. You should have a proofreader, like my spouse, read over your questions and make suggestions or corrections. (just like in the question below - When I purchased, was I interested in health, ancestry or other? Why not both? That would be a more correct answer. I answered other instead of the missing both. And then there's the Nickname. What on earth are you asking for here. An explanation might help.

This is a very fun product and I'm still going back to my reports to read more and just the other day I gained some new reports from research they had done. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to learn more about themselves and their ancestry.

Excellent science; good website for after testing

I have always believed in spending extra for one-of-a-kind purchases because it's almost always worth it — and 23andme's DNA testing is no exception! I just talked to my cousin and he didn't get much info from his ancestry testing from another vender. 23andme's website is a necessity as well as a joy. It asks clients for more information for 23andme's research purposes, and it supplies lots and lots of detailed information that is personally applicable to individual clients. It is a tremendous return for a client's one-time investment.
I will say, though, that the website is so extensive that I have glanced at some info related to my DNA (that I'm related to one of "the Nine of Niull" (spelling?), or something like that ) that I have not been able to find again, and thus, have not been able to read it more solidly. I also spelled a relative's name incorrectly, but I don't know how to go back and fix it.

Comparing with others

23andMe was the third company I tested with and their ethnicity results matched or were similar to other companies, until recently. Others have changed but 23andMe results have remained the same (as also NatGeno2.0). I trust 23andMe as having the most accurate results.
I have contributed to the health research and those results have helped me understand what and how my health is like now. I can take precautions and see what are the genetics of some characteristics.
I recommend 23andMe as a must for any and every genetic genealogist.

Ancestry and more!

I bought this test a year ago mainly to find out my ancestry, possible lost relatives, and other undiscovered ethnicities. I can say, I'm very pleased so far with my results and 23andme's overall dedication towards their customers. The best thing about this company is that they continue to improve and update me on all sorts of things ranging from health carrier reports to haplogroup migration patterns. It's really amazing and insightful to discover such things about yourself. Kudos to the 23andme team! I'm looking forward to more research questions and findings!
