Interesting health and ancestry information

I purchased a couple months ago, I was excited to find out about my ancestry and background. Very informative and split off in sections that makes it easy to find info. I also enjoy the surveys and being able to contribute to research.

Although there is much information based on scientific data, my results have changed over the last months, deleting and changing percentages, populations and even countries of origin. They need to be more accurate than this for the cost.

Not so specific

I was incredibly disappointed in the results. I appreciate that this DNA testing service offers a lot of information on your health and the specifics of your genes (what your paternal/maternal haplogroups are etc.) BUT I'm really upset that it's so Eurocentric. It's able to distinguish the ancestry of individuals from Poland, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and yet it literally categorizes Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Bhutan into ONE region -- "Broadly South Asian." Moreover, a lot of the other services just don't pertain to me since I'm "100% Broadly South Asian" and there's nothing else I can do with that information. Super disappointing, was not worth the money.

DNA Results

This whole process has been enlightening. I now have DNA proof of who I am related to on my biological fathers side. On the down side they don't want to know anything about me..which is ok. They are just learning I exist and I am 67 years old.
The health report is reassuring as well. Knowing health issues that will help my children in the future.

DNA varient

I have the ABCC11 varient and it was not mentioned that Native Americans also have this varient. I have traced my ancestry at another site and found that my 7th great grandmother was Cherokee. I must have gotten this trait from her.
