Expect the Unexpected!

This was a very simple process, easy to use, and very exciting. I loved answering research questions while waiting for my results, and I am enthralled in what came out of it. I highly recommend this to anyone who even has a slight urge to do it. It's definitely worth your time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought it to learn about my ancestry and I was very surprised with the results, also found out that my sister is actually my half sister. People need to know there are secrets in families and when doing a DNA test you need to be ready for any surprises. Now I hope one of these days a close relative from my biological father side does a 23andme Test so I can learn even more about my roots and find out who my biological father is/was.

Interesting and Fun

I’ve enjoyed seeing evidence of my ancestry and ethnic origins. There have been some surprises and a lot of validation This has helped me to feel less alone in the world. When I see evidence of the people who went before me and the people that are to this day carried as part of me, I’m strengthened, I’m amazed.
I was apprehensive to include the medical portion but I’m very glad I did

I am excited about my dna matches and the insight to me. It is amazing to learn about my ancestry and my story. I have a chance to learn my mother’s side of me, since she was adopted with no knowledge as to her ancestry.
It is all amazing!
I would recommend this to a friend!

My DNA result changed couple times since the first result which is very confusing.
Mongolia and Manchuria should NOT be in same category.
Its completely different according to the history. Hope more people will send their samples and help you find out more about Mongolian Genetics.

10 yrs ago I got a DNA test from Family Tree DNA and boy somebody got it wrong. Family Tree did mine twice because I complained that I Puerto Rican, and they had all this British , Irish , Anasazi on my Y DNA . Anyway you got the opposite. Who's wrong, you or them?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for your feedback. It is not uncommon to receive varying results between different ancestry analyses. Different companies can utilize reference data from varying sources. For example, 23andMe uses reference individuals from within our customer base to help define the reference populations used in Ancestry Composition. You are able to view the data sources for Ancestry Composition by clicking on the population and selecting Show Details.
Unlike other genetic genealogy services that identify relationships on only the direct paternal or maternal lines, DNA Relatives can identify relationships on any branch of your family tree. It does this by taking advantage of the autosomal chromosomes—the 22 chromosomes that are passed down from your ancestors on both sides of your family.
Keep in mind that the number of relatives will vary for each person and will grow over time as more people join 23andMe.
