My kit was a gift from my father-in-law and I hesitated in completing it and returning it. But then I became intrigued with the whole thing. I am considering purchasing two kits, one for my 90 yr old father and for younger brother.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought 23 and me for my brother at first so we could have our Y-chromosome and to find out relatives on my fathers side. I have found out that my father and mother are from the same part of Europe; which is mostly France, Germany and The British Isles. They both share the same cousins from different generations. My Dads ancestors came to America as indentured servants from Scotland while most of my moms ancestors came with land grants; some even came on the Mayflower!

I received this as a gift around the holidays. This is the second ancestry test I've taken. I had previously taken one with a different company. I initially received just the ancestry portion of the DNA analysis. Completing the test was quick and easy. I waited approx 5 weeks to receive my results back and got emailed updates of where they were in the process of my test. This I really liked! Once my test results came back I was a wee bit disappointed in my ancestry results as It was VERY different from previous tests that me and several other family members had taken. But, I did quite enjoy the "neanderthal variant" portion of the test, and the timeline of when my ancestors would have traveled to different locations.
The BEST part about the "23 and Me" test though, was I could add the health reports on after I had sent in the test! I didn't know this prior to sending it in! Once I added, the results popped up were IMMEDIATELY! I really enjoyed reading through all the different trait report and health and wellness. A lot of the traits were spot on, and there were a handful that were off. But if you go into each category you can see where your results differ and the percentages/etc.
Overall, a REALLY cool product. I feel like the ancestry portion is maybe better for African and Asian culture background curiosity as it seems to have far more sub categories than other competitors. The health reports though are reason enough to purchase! Definitely some truly interesting finds!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Long Lost Family Found !!!

My father passed when I was two. He had been married once before and had a son from that union. Time went on and my family moved from the area.
I spent many years looking for my half brother, only to find him through his obituary. He was 12 years my senior.
I knew from his obituary that he had three children and I looked for them without any luck for about six or seven years.
The name Valerie showed up on my DNA relative list. I was confident that I had all of my first cousins accounted for and Valerie was one of the names of my half brothers children.

After a few rounds of questions and E-mails. We made the connection. They had no idea that my sisters and I existed. Now we are spending time swapping photos and sharing information about our family and my family has grown by two more nieces and one.. possibly two more nephews.
My Sister-in-law had bought me the 23andme kit for Christmas because I have had a long standing interest in the family genealogy and have become the family historian by default.
It has turned out to be one of the greatest gifts I have ever been given.
