Response from 23andme.comBy Customer Care, April 4, 2018
Thank you for your feedback. DNA Relatives locates other 23andMe members that match your DNA and estimates a predicted relationship using the length, number of segments, and percentage of DNA shared. When two people share identical segments of DNA, this indicates that they share a recent common ancestor. This tool will be able to identify matches that are related to you both maternally and paternally within the last five to ten generations.
While many of your relatives may be more distantly related, there is the possibility of finding a much closer relative. As new matches are found, they will be continuously added to your DNA Relatives list.

So fascinating!

I love 23andme! It's very fun and fascinating, and I've used it to find lost family members and lost heritage (apparently I'm part Jewish......). I also found out I had family living only an hour away that we didn't (a first cousin 3 times removed to be exact) know about! It's also fun to find out which siblings you are "most related to" as, for example, one of my sisters has 53% of my DNA while another sibling has only 49%! I plan on becoming a geneticist, so I especially love this, but I think anyone could find this fun. The one complaint is it takes a LONG time to get results back...... but I do still believe it's worth 5 stars.

Preference of 23andMe and AncestryDNA
on April 3, 2018
Posted by: Cousin Bill
Length of ownership:3 months
With 23andMe, I thought this would be easier locating family, which is my main focus, However, I have connected with so many unknown relative with Ancestry DNA. 23andMe is almost like pulling teeth to get anyone to open up and connect with each other. My wife and I both took both DNA tests and both were spot on with ancestry heritage. If I am overlooking how to connect with family using 23andMe, please tell me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Finding Me!

Length of ownership:3 months
I bought two-kits months ago, one for me and for my mother. It sat on my dresser day after day waiting for me to pick it up, I was hesitant, maybe a little afraid of what I might discover about me. Eventually, I sent the kit in and in 4 weeks I got my results. I was somewhat surprised, because I knew I had African Ancestry, but not British/Irish at such a high percentage. The results have given me a more clearer picture of who I am and allowed me to connect to relatives all over the world. I'm still researching and navigating through the website. I've found some nuggets of information that I can share with my family. The second kit will be given to my brother. I'd like to see what his results will be. This product is certainly a gateway to discover who and what you are. It allowed for me validation and gave me a sense of importance to humanity. I would have liked to have known what country in Africa I'm connected to, that would have been amazing for me.

Great Product

Quick, efficient, mostly results that I expected with a few surprises. ONLY reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I have not tried other DNA tests yet and so I have no basis for comparison. However, I have no complaints!
