Well, don’t delve into math if you can’t add.
Trying to make sense out if your reports is like trying to read the spaghetti on the wall.
ENGLISH FOR DUMMIES please
And EXPLAIN in Laymen’s terms.
Dear God, what a bunch of brainiacs. Have mercy.
This is not an IQ test.

Our daughter gave us the 23andMe DNA kits with health history this past Christmas. After the holiday season, my husband and I completed our tests and sent them in. We really liked the fact that we could log in and see the progress of our tests. I logged into my account when I received verification my results were available, expecting to see my mom (we gave our parents kits for Christmas, also), my brother (who had used your company a few years ago), and a cousin that I was told was on there. What an overwhelming feeling I had when in the middle of my mom and brother, was a half sister!! Talk about life altering. Since 11 February 2018, she and I have visited each other, text weekly, speak on the phone often, and clicked from the moment our first phone call took place. Sadly, we have since discovered that our bio dad potentially fathered up to 25 or so of us, which we may never learn details about. My sister (I LOVE saying that), and I have found 2 other sisters and knew of one half brother. She and I both hope that over time, our other siblings will use 23andMe and want a relationship. I can quite literally write that 23andMe has changed my life for the better.

Some info is outstanding, some misses the mark

I am recommending 23andMe to all my family and friends because I found it very interesting and for the most part accurate. But do have to say my reports were disappointingly inaccurate on a few counts. Ancestry and wellness were generally spot on, but, like many other users I've heard from, I found the traits reports way off the mark. For one example, I was told my genetics make me very unlikely to match a musical pitch--much less likely than just the average person. But not only am I a professional violinist with perfect pitch, I come from a long line of musicians on both sides of my family..,.most of whom have perfect pitch! THis made me question the accuracy or significance of other 23andMe findings. Also, I think 23andMe needs some fine tuning for certain ethnicities. E.G., my reports showed me having some "East Asian/Native American" DNA----which is accurate--but then they had to go ahead and ruin it by breaking it down further to "chinese Dai" instead of Native American. I have known and proven Native American ancestors. There is absolutely no possibility I could have any Chinese Dai based not only on family history and meticulous records, but the sheer physical impossibility that anyone of Chinese Dai ethnicity could have come anywhere near the locations and migration patterns of my ancestors.

I purchased my kit in 2016 and my bought my Mom one this Christmas in 2018. Results keep getting more accurate and the access to updated health reports (and new ones) is just phenomenal. There are many purchases I've regretted in my life, but this is not one of them.

What a surprise!

I totally enjoyed all the reports not everything was as it usually is as far as traits, but we can improve by participating in the surveys. I have to say though you need to completely prepare yourself for all results. I have no one to ask and at 64 I now have no biological parents.

I love the information as it is presented by 23 and Me. It is very user friendly and I have shared my results with my family. We found a cousin we did not know about, my husband found a half sister which was awesome because he is adopted. Lots of fun.

I bought this product about a month ago and found out I have a half brother I never knew about. He is 62 and I am 79. This was a big surprise to both of us.

Finding new relatives

I bought this about a month ago on recommendation from my daughter. Since then I have found a first cousin I knew nothing about. I also found a 4th cousin on my father's side. She was really helpful in providing me information about that side of the family. This is a great way to learn more about where you came from.
