I have found this product very helpful. I initially bought it because I was interested in my ancestry; I was surprised to find out their health information also, and I have implemented my new knowledge in my lifestyle choices. Thank you, 23andme!

Interesting, but not for everyone

DNA is only one part of finding your family history, you need to do the actually genealogical reasearch as well so if that’s what you’re looking for, this might not be the product for you. DNA alone will not magically reveal relatives, you need to make solid connections via documents, etc. Professional genealogists probably find it a more helpful tool than the average person. It’s also probably a better idea to have your own health care professional run your DNA for potential markers regarding potential health issues as 23andMe even states they only test one or two markers out of several. Overall, I probably would not have purchased 23andMe if given the choice again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from 23andme.comBy Customer Care, Customer Care, June 29, 2018
Thanks for your feedback. Please keep in mind that DNA Relatives locates other 23andMe members that match your DNA. This feature is just one of our many features, and it is important to keep in mind that our customers use our service for a variety of reasons. We are unable to determine if or when other 23andMe customers will respond to your sharing invitations or messages. We leave the option of responding to DNA Relatives introductions solely to the customer.
Also, please note that 23andMe provides you with genetic information, but does not sequence your entire genome or perform predictive or diagnostic tests. Rather, we use currently available technology to examine your DNA sequence at a large number of variable sites called SNPs. Since this SNP information is difficult to interpret on its own, we review the most up-to-date biomedical literature on genetic associations and provide you your genotype information in the context of current scientific knowledge.
If you have questions about specific reports, contact Customer Care by submitting a request here: https://23and.me/CCRequest

It was great,

from California u.s..a.
Length of ownership:1 month
The kit was the best,I was adopted .So I just wanted to know a little bit on my birth parents,I am old in my 70 with grandchildren and it is natural that they ask question about their biological relative. I am happy that I was able to show them the Pie of where we came from. No one wanted to share information on their paternal side, So if my grandchildren end up marring their cousins .It won't be my fault they are beautiful,and smart and they have the looks of several of the people that are 2nd ,3rd and 4th cousins to me. have the same interest and likes.

Adopted

My twin sister and I were adopted at 9 months old. She passed away a few years ago. My children gave me the dna kit the following year. I was able to find a second cousin that helped me solve who my Birth Mother was. Long story. Through 23and me I have connected with nieces and have developed good relationships. Some family wants no part of it. That has been difficult to swallow. Wish I knew more about genetics or someone that did to trace paternal side.

I love the simplicity and design of 23andMe. The data is presented in a clean, easy-to-understand format. I'm extremely interested in science, so I love all of the different research 23andMe provides. You also don't need a science degree to understand it. The information provided ranges from just-for-fun to vital for a healthy lifestyle.
