It was generalize information about DNA. I expected specific information about me. What a disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far, so good. I keep telling others about the resources, profiles, meta data, connectivity, white papers, surveys, science (to learn, wow), and on we go especially the ease of navigation on the web site. Yeah, I like it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this for my family and have found it very informative regarding genetics but a wonderful experience to have the opportunity to network in the real world with common DNA relatives to explore our ancestral family lines, share stories of family history and unlock generational family secrets.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doesn't match my spouses known heritage. Mixed up samples?
Waste of money. Plus results are hard to decipher. And I am a medical professional.

Response from 23andme.comBy Customer Care, December 21, 2016
Thank you for your feedback. The 23andMe Ancestry Composition feature tells you what percent of your DNA comes from each of 31 populations worldwide. This analysis includes DNA you received from all of your recent ancestors, on both sides of your family. The results reflect where your ancestors lived before the widespread migrations of the past few hundred years.
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.
To view a full list of the reference populations, please click the blue "See all 31 tested populations" link under your Ancestry Composition results.
You can read about the population selection process in more detail in the corresponding section of the Ancestry Composition Guide: https://www.23andme.com/ancestry_composition_guide/

I don't believe that my results are correct. Based on family tree research that we have done, and what I remember about my grandparents, the results just do not match.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
