A Special Gift

Getting the genetic results was a laugh out loud surprise. I didn't expect that this would be such an entertaining gift to myself. I ordered the tests as an adjunct to the years of genetic research I had shared with my brother. When I got the results, I insisted that my brother get his results. He's in the system now awaiting his own results so that we can share and compare.

NOT satisfied

Don't waste your money. Very vague results and anything more entails spending more money on an "upgrade". I intend to express my disappointment to Dr. Oz as well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Understanding is half the battle...

I watched a lot of YouTube videos on genealogy and they were intriguing. I have also seen them done on such shows on television and being in the south - I was curious and it was not a shocker... The knowing that I am mixed with African and European but finding some more flavor on my line was awesome... Yes, I have shared this information on FaceBook page with family and friends...

Overall, not bad.

Pros:
- Really good timing, results came back within four weeks.
- Easy to navigate the website at all stages and the process was overall seamless.
- No false promises - it does what it says on the label pretty much.
- The comparisons between my own results and the results of others from the same pool of customers is also interesting.

Cons:
- The results were descriptive more than analytical. I already know what my hair colour is and I know my ring finger is longer than my index. I also know I am of South Asian descent - I didnt need to pay almost $200 to find these things out. I was expecting the results to be more detailed, for eg: which countries specifically was my ancestors from? I already know which continents they were from. Is there a significance to one finger being longer than the other?

Overall:
It was cool to know that alot of the things could be found out from a DNA test . I didn't know the finger lengths could be determined; chin dimples; caffeine absorption; and unibrows. It was definitely interesting and I would still recommend to a friend but only depending on what they were hoping to find/test for. Probably only best for those wanting to test for any of the listed illnesses/diseases on the website.
