Great to meet relatives that I never knew exited

Length of ownership:3 months
My Mother bought the DNA test for me for Christmas. I have always been interested. In my families past. Since, I have been contacted by cousins on my Father's, and my Mother's side. I never expected it. According to the family history on both sides everything seems to jibe. All of us are trying to put everything into line.
It is also was interesting about my genetic history. I did not know I had Irish as well Scandinavian(sp) background, as well as the Germanic and Eastern European that I knew that I had. I have found out that that I do have a rich history!

Amazing insights into the lost tracks of our elder

ability to expect the behaviors or the results and their implications on overall; treatment. Today, I have much higher confidence in my health due to the insights presented by the 23andme provided information as it disseminates from all over the world research community and is gathered and shared with the genomes of various world-wide community. 23andme has done a remarkable job in obtaining such new information for the presence of various markers in the genomes of various communities and their probabilities of occurrence in similar DNA relatives or presence of associated markers for various locations and similar populations.
Although, the highly intriguing and the awe-inspiring information that 23andme has I provided me over the last ten years or so on the origins of my families, my esteemed ancestors our halpogroups, our elders movement over the past few centuries, their ethnic groups, languages spoken and the faiths practiced by them. This information now follows discovery of circa 70 DNA relatives, and the ongoing communication with the newly found enthralling and exciting relatives is an amazing hard-to-believe facts which have greatly but pleasantly surprised my family members and myself.
MMy recent rejoicing interactions with the new-found relatives have been so captivating and enticing that they have now provided me a great purpose in my senior years to work for and organize the family history for as far back as possible and leave it as a legacy for our future generations to quench their desire to know the past family elders their way of life, their value-systems, their life styles, and the family values and their unique and specific qualities, admirable traits and qualities. This, I believe, will be a source of great contentment and pride in their most recent nearest relatives for various known locations of the family's travels, their professions, acts of valor, courage, integrity, service and kindness. In the future, this would serve as our elders legacy and the information about their way of life would serve as a wonderful source of the role models for our progeny.
We are currently making concerted efforts to have the composite Health and Ancestry DNA data analysis done by 23andme for the senior most people for our current Seniors in our families. I highly recommend the readers to seriously consider utilizing the 23andme quality and superior services and organize and utilize the attendant numerous benefits sooner than later and have a head start in availing the available information to have the family move forward without further loss of time. Thank you for reading the my two Cents worth. I hope it helps!

African American Female

I was looking for more detailed information for my husband and myself. This report was interesting but extremely vague. As an African American it is important to me to trace my history. I can only trace back to my great great grandparents.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
