My experience since 2013

I have been very happy with the quality of my results. I purchased the health & ancestry kit back in 2013 before the FDA started regulating the health interpretations. Since then, they have taken away the ability to upgrade your chip version (which allows you to update your results) and I have about half of the health data available to my mother and grandmother who have also sent in their kits. Also, I purchased my kit as a freshman in college, so it kind of sucks that they JUST came out with an education discount.
The ancestry results are of pretty good quality, but they lack a good genealogy (family tree) database program to organize your results. Despite this, I would still recommend 23andMe above any other genetic testing kit.

I Couldn't Ask For More

The DNA23 kit was a gift from my daughter with whom I share a passion for genealogy and all things "old" with a connection to family.
My search is my way of honoring the people in my past family and gifting my present family.

Connections

I am making connections with family members I have never met but knew had to be out there. I am especially excited that even though I am African American, I am sharing connections with the European half of my family, because more dots in my family history can be filled in. This is exciting because I have been handed the torch from my late uncle who used to travel to libraries to get information on our family, and now with the DNA results...BAM! I hope that more of my genetic/family members agree to share. Shows you how small the world is and how backwards feelings about racial differences can be. DNA testing from 23andMe is like, a final sigh. I see it as a cleansing and an affirmation that unites not divides us. You need to add tools for sharing photos and other data.

Slightly disappointed. I can't condemn 23&M

Since I was adopted and have no clue who any of my "genetic relatives are, I am slightly disappointed that my closest relative is a less than 3% match and that there are significant differences between this test and a genetic test from a competitor. I can not blame the test for not providing closer relatives and I'm not sure which test is more accurate. I also like the health information since I have no family history.
As a result, I give this a strong 4 and would recommend the product to friends.

Wonderful Self Discovery Experience!

I am adopted and did not even know my own birthday until I was adopted, I was told that I was 9.5 years old. My brother and I thought we were half siblings and our heritage was also unknown. 23&Me brought us our story, my own children' story...and surprised us with a wonderful heritage that was predicted by a Native American Chief...I thought he was crazy. Turns out he was right. I smiled, I cried, I still am in my journey of self discovery!

Interesting Background info.

I never give anything five stars. That's me.
But it has been interestersting to find that all those stories I've heard are true. Where do you come from? Why are you here and not there? Interesting, as we are all on a search for freedom, to worship, to pray, to eat, to live together as a people and a world

I bought this because I didn’t know much of my background and boy was I exited when I got my results! 23 and Me is very informative, clean & visual that I had a smooth and easy view of my results with no confusion.
