Response from 23andme.comBy Customer Care, January 31, 2018
Thank you for your feedback. Your Ancestry Timeline reflects the ancestry assignments in your Ancestry Composition report. This feature is intended to estimate when a particular ancestry entered your family tree, and assumes that you had one specific ancestor who descended from a single population.
The estimates you see within your timeline are based on the length of the DNA segments assigned to each of your populations. As you randomly inherit 50% of your DNA from each parent, the predictions you see in your Timeline may vary depending which specific DNA segments you inherited from your parents.

Native American Category

I wish 23andme could further break down the Native American ancestry report and narrow it much more into different tribes or groups. Native American stretches anymore from the Southern tip of Chile to Northern Canada. It is far too broad to be meaningful.

Accuracy of timeline

I have a question on the accuracy of the timeline I have found a secound cousin who I am certain is related to through a Major Generaral who fought in the American Revolution and came from Great Britain I would not know this but for the fact that I inherited the family tree recently developed by that family While I am closely related to that name she is not I only know because she is on that tree However your timeline has my British heritage beginning in the 1800s I know I have heritage that goes back to the UK through several generations back to the 1700s

Comparison

23&Me is great! As a comparison, I tried another DNA company to see if I could obtain additional info from another source. I was very disappointed with the results and lack of information provided. 23 & me is easy to use, accurate and provides detailed reports. I highly recommend it!

Eye opening

Genetics and ancestry were seldom to never discussed in my family. My siblings and I were unaware of family lines beyond aunts, uncles and first cousins. My 23andme profile has filled in a lot of blanks and answered a lot of questions, not only for me but for other blood relatives. Through 23andme I have been informed of the existence of near relatives about which I knew nothing and have managed to make some contacts. That would not have been possible without 23andme.

Surprise
on January 28, 2018

I was blown away with my results to say the least... I was only trying to confirm the amount of native American I am and to my surprise it's zero percent I didn't see that coming from a mile away . To my surprise I'm 100 percent European and the break down of that and process of elimination I realised the man I thought was my father is not.... I must admit I felt lost and cheated out of knowing half my family. My whole life was a lie. I have always felt I didn't belong anywhere I've been so, I'm a little relieved to know that in the UK is were I belong .... I've learned the wrong history for myself both family and educational wise.

I have been completely satisfied and excited with the DNA information, what is missing is the fact that most of relatives are passed on. Also, the market for DNA testing is full, but not in conjunction with one another, results from one should automatically compare to all others. GEDmatch helps!
