This DNA kit has completely changed my life for the better. I found out so many thing I never thought was possible for me to find out. I'd definitely say that this is a great kit to use to find out more about your ancestry and yourself.

Not very accurate

My mother's family (except for my mother and aunt) were all born in Hungary. We have a family tree that goes back hundreds of years. All from Hungary, but, yet, we are a small percentage of Hungarian? I'm not sure how they put everything together, but if they only go by how people have similarities in countries then they need to look how countries were split apart just under a 100 years ago. Large parts of Hungary are now other countries. We know where our family came from and to say I'm such a low percentage of Hungarian is completely inaccurate.

Response from 23andme.comBy Customer Care, July 27, 2018
Thank you for your feedback. Our Ancestry Composition report assigns results based on your genetic similarity to our 31 populations worldwide. These populations refer to genetically similar groups, rather than nationalities.
We do not have a Hungarian reference population. Evidence of Hungarian ancestry would be reflected in our Eastern European reference population. If you do not see as much Eastern European ancestry as you expected, this is because you more closely resembled our other reference populations genetically. Keep in mind that you randomly inherit 50% of your DNA from each of your parents. For this reason, your ancestry assignments may vary depending on which DNA segments you inherited from each parent.
You can contact Customer Care if you have additional questions about your results here: https://23and.me/CCRequest

I've really enjoyed finding about my ancestry and cousins, but I primarily wanted to find out why I was born unusual. Unfortunately, 23&me is sadly lacking if you are primarily finding out why you might be this way. Turns out I have a more exotic form of swyers syndrome (more similar in form to MRKH though).

Overall, I am happy with my kit and results. One exception noted is my hair is tight curls and according to the information provided to me it states my hair is likely straight. So incorrect. I found that interesting.

I got this kit because I really was curious about what my genetic roots are...it’s so cool! I can look and actually see what the human migration that makes up me was. To see whom I am related to blows my mind!! Thank you 23andMe!
