Thank you for your feedback. Our Ancestry Composition report will tell you what percent of your DNA comes from each of 45 populations worldwide. The population labels in Ancestry Composition refer to genetically similar groups, rather than nationalities. In general, we sought to make the populations as small as possible, subject to the constraint of being able to distinguish between them. Populations may be inherently difficult to distinguish because of historical mixing, or we might not have had enough data to tell them apart.
You can read about the population selection process in more detail in our Ancestry Composition Guide: https://www.23andme.com/ancestry-composition-guide/?ac33

Eastern European not specific enough

I was disappointed in the lack of specifics in some of the ethnic breakdown- particularly the vast swath lumped together and called "Eastern European." The chromosome painting is interesting. If there were actual traits mapped on them, that would be even better.

I've enjoyed having 23 and Me. It's allowed me to find out so much about myself that I never would have known previously! Also, I'm having some AMAZING conversations with my family about what I have, versus what they have. It is opening up a lot of dialogue about other cultures. It's amazing!

I got the ancestors and health test. I really wanted to know if I carried or had the dementia gene. My mom had that horrible disease. It did make me feel better knowing I didn't have the gene. I know there is always some possibility in other ways but this makes me breath easier

Unbelievable amount of information about my histor

23andme is the best birthday present I ever received. It was a painless easy process to send off my sample. I was kept informed every step of the way with emails and videos. The results arrive faster than I expected and was more informative than I expected. I was taught by my family growing up that I was German but I am British and Irish. Who knew! Discovered some things about myself I already knew and some I didn't. My only regret is not doing 23andme sooner.

I bought this kit in the hopes of finding relatives on my biological father side. It did just that. I found a cousin that led me to four sisters I didn't know I had.

Found more than I was seeking

I had been looking for my bio father for over 40 years with no luck. A friend suggested trying 23 and Me where I might be able to connect with some of his relatives or at least find out any health related matters I might have inherited. Within a few weeks I had made contact with a distant cousin on my fathers side who helped me trace our ancestry back to my father, who had unfortunately passed away. I found out he had two sons. I contacted them and one of them signed up with 23 and Me to have their DNA analyzed. It came back that we were indeed half siblings. What I had not been able to accomplish on my own in over 4 decades, with 23 and Me I was able to accomplish in less than a couple months. There are just no words to describe the feelings and emotions one experiences during this type of event. It is life changing. Well worth the cost. I will soon meet my brothers - we are all so very excited. Thank you 23 and Me.

I learned so much about myself I DIDN'T know. Never knew my dad growing up and he died before we could meet. I was always curious about my genetics. And boy howdy was I surprised. I was also surprised to see what my health said... now that I know what could happen I can take better care of myself and plan for my future accordingly.
