Not accurate

I bought this kit, excited about what it may say about me and my family. But when I got my results only one of my known family members showed up in my results. None of my other family members that have done it were in my results (and I am 100% sure that they are my biological family). This cost too much money to be so inaccurate.

The kit was easy to use and return, and results returned quickly. I was baffled at so many kin who were not direct relations.

The purchase is well worth it and I enjoyed the information I got. I would gladly purchase again. My only complaint is that I feel like they misrepresent how the information given. I got a lot more information than expected but not in the detail I expected.

It's okay. Take everything with a grain of salt.

I tried both Ancestry DNA and 23&Me. Most of the ancestry aspect of both is similar but 23 and me added extra geographical ancestry where there is no evidence of ancestry for our family. And we have a very large tree that goes back hundreds of years that took a lot of detailed thorough investigation and research over many many years. What I don't understand is that 23&Me says, in addition to DNA, based on what other 23andMe members report where their ancestors are from, that's where my results come from. I'm not sure if they're using DNA AND subjective information from other members or not. So, I'm not sure which ancestry results I should trust. As for the health aspect, that's okay. It's good to know some of the information, however they do say that they do not test all of the variants that would be an accurate indicator whether or not a specific illness could actually potentially affect us or not. For example, they say they may test 2 or 3 variants out of 20 for a particular potential health risk. What good is that? They should also give a specified range for what "typical likelihood" means. To me, typical likelihood means the same as if I never took the test in the first place, I either get it or I don't. Also, the majority of the traits they say match my DNA are completely wrong and opposite of what is actually. For example, eye color, freckles, ring finger length, hair texture, fairness of skin, skin pigmentation, stretch marks, cilantro taste, fear of heights, fear of public speaking, flat feet, ice cream flavor, photic sneeze reflex, preference of sweets... ALL of these and more are wrong! My neighbor can guess and get better results. Ancestry DNA has this part nearly spot on accurate! Hopefully 23&Me will make A LOT of improvements and update members as they are made. Also on a side note, it would be really nice to be able to zoom in on the maps they provide when showing you where your ancestors are from. It's an awesome feature that we use a lot with AncestryDNA.
