I've been able to contact two (previously unknown) cousins and they have provided me with a lot of information about my family. It's been a lot of fun and we plan to get together soon for a family reunion!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have been waiting for the price to come down, and you cant beat the 23youandMe!
We were so surprised how in depth and complete the study was. With so many outside sources they brought in, made the survey complete. Thank you 23youandMe!

I loved being part of the research and learning about the science behind different traits. I was able to track my DNA sample which was a good feature. The research questionnaires were fun.

Lacking clarity

I had done test to compare with another one, and was disappointed in the broad range of unspecified percentages. It showed a .01% of an obscure region, yet had over 35% that was lumped into general European.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from 23andme.comBy Customer Care, March 9, 2017
Thank you for your feedback. If a piece of DNA is found all over Europe, but not outside Europe, Ancestry Composition will label that DNA “Broadly European." Pieces of DNA found in multiple widespread regions, such as Europe, the Near East, and Asia, will be labeled “Unassigned.”
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 the corresponding section of the Ancestry Composition Guide:

Even though I was fairly certain about my ancestry, I am glad to see it researched and complete. The details are so interesting and it is a thorough investigation into my genetics. I really love this product.

I was given this kit as a Christmas gift and I loved it! I was adopted, so this was very special to me finding out details about my genetic make up.
