My Parents are both gone, so I asked my Brother to do this with me and I found it absolutely fascinating. I have learned so much and think everyone should do it! I have been able to find long lost cousins, and my Mother's side was related to Marie Antoinette, pretty cool, huh?

LOCATED FAMILY

My daughter purchased the DNA kit for us. She and a brother had already completed the test and were very satisfied. She knew my wife and I had been searching for a son by my previous marriage, without success. My wife and I completed the test, and the missing son did not show up....in the meantime,
another son had taken the DNA test with a competitor, and a sibling showed there. They communicated, and it turned out to be the missing son, in Virginia...but, on my 23andme test, a granddaughter appeared. I sent several messages, but received no answer for about three months. She had been adopted at birth, knew she was adopted, knew her birth parents names, and the fact that both birth parents were deceased. She was looking for extended family. She was unsure how we connected, as was I. In subsequent messages, she gave me the names, and I called my 'missing' son asked if he was familiar with either.......he and the mother had dated thru high school, and the 'father' was his best friend thru school. My 'missing' son had joined the Air Force after high school, and had gone overseas, not knowing his girl friend was pregnant.. My remarks to him were, congratulations, Dad, you have another daughter......he replied, I'll call you back, I gotta call my wife right now ! Subsequently, he and the daughter have texted, my daughter, the missing son, his wife, and his son did share 'face' time one evening, but we aren't certain how or when we can arrange to meet the new granddaughter, as she is in North California.....there's lots more to this story. I'd like to thank the 23andme organization for pulling this together .

Sometimes you find out more than you expect

I did not expect to much when I first took the test. I have since unveiled first and second cousins across the world and found that my grandfather had a child during WWII. Unbelievable!! It took a lot of investigating but this test helped to uncover secrets that no one even knew about!

I found a 2nd cousin that lives nearby. We met at lunch and he gave me useful information that has helped me a lot. I highly recommend this tool, but you'll need to contact those relatives listed as closest to you in order to get the most out of it.

My son bought this for me as a Father's Day gift and I sent it in. Well I was adopted when I was three years old and the records were sealed. Some of my Cousins came up and I contacted a few of them and some of the questions I had asked were revealed. I have been researching my heritage for about thirty years and always came up with roadblocks after a while it becomes discouraging. After the question I had asked were answered thanks to 23&me I am reuniting with my brother and nieces and nephews after 70 years. This is going to me a very momentous occasion. Thank You!

Overall, a good experience

I have found the results interesting and have been able to contact people with whom I share ancestry. I wish you offered the capability to create a family tree. If you do, I am missing the link. I also recommended 23andme to two people, at least one of whom has not yet received an e mail from 23andme.
