I found relatives!

I thought I'd try 23andme based on a friends recommendation to find out my true heritage. I was happy and surprised to find out the percentages of my DNA background. I also connected to my 1st and 2nd cousin and after a lot of communication back and forth we worked out how we were related. My Mother was adopted so we found her Father's family in Scotland. I visited them with my sisters and Mother this past summer and we were very warmly received. It was quite an experience and lovely to have a more extended family. I was glad I contacted my first 2 relatives to find this out. I have since wrote to many others mostly 3rd and 4th cousins but have not had any more replies. I hope they will some day to find out more about my background. It was a great experience for me!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Seeing the past through a sample of saliva!

Besides just being cool science, the ability to peer into the past and marvel at my ancestors' origins both boggles the mind and warms the heart! Of course, information about potential health risks was helpful, but I love the idea that my genetic markers might help shed light on other 3rd and 4th generation cousins whom I don't even know exist.

my test said I was some British and Irish but I have a lot of data on both sides of my parents and I have no British or Irish. Hummmmm

This is a huge experiment. We, as a species have a chance to advance the knowledge of who we are, what we are, how we respond and perhaps, what makes us better. Sign up, engage, share and enlighten yourself of your history

I found my family!

23andme has changed my life. I got my DNA done for fun but was surprised to learn I have a different father than the siblings I grew up with. I now have a very close, loving relationship with my brother and cousins on the other "new" side of the family and am so happy to have them in my life. In addition, the health results have been very important to know. I'm SO glad you offer that option! All thanks to 23andme!

My experience with 23 and me has been positive. If you are interested in your health you might find this as the right product for you. It is not the best for tracing family migrations although the haplogroup research documents have been very enriching and helpful.
