23andMe - DNA Test - Ancestry Personal Genetic Service

Since my parents couldn't really give me any definitive answers about our history so I decided to buy this and see if it told me any new information. I'm happy I did because I did find out a lot of new stuff. The good thing about this kit is once you get it you wait 30 mintues (don't eat or drink anything) then spit into a vile that comes with the kit and send it off in the box in came in that already has a prepaid label on it. They say it takes about 4-6 weeks to get results but for me it took about 2 and half weeks. Just FYI it tells where your ancestors most likely came from but there is a percentage that is unknown in the test results. If you're curious to know where your ancestors were from I would say give this product and try. Oh yeah and you can connect with other relatives that have sent in samples as well. The good thing about this is you don't need to pay for a monthly subscription like other DNA tests.

I took the ancestry DNA test and was disappointed, it did not show the DNA I was told was in my family by my mother and a Doctor. I took the 23 and me test and it lined up with what my Mom had told me and the Doctor. Plus it showed some more DNA that I didn't know as there. It didn't take long to get the results, and the results just blew me away. Great DNA breakdown and pretty extensive. If I had to do this again I would have bought the 23& me test off the bat and not bothered with the Ancestry DNA test. You want a great breakdown on you DNA without any bias go with the 23 & me test.

I picked this up for my wife, who mentioned she would like to see what her background looked like, besides hearing from it from family for years. I can say she was very surprised and ecstatic about the results. We even opted to purchase a hard cover book showing details of her background and other information as well. Highly recommend.

I was adopted at 5 days old and had no knowledge of my birth parents or siblings... after my adopted mother passed in October 2017 I found my birth Mothers name in a letter in a lock box. So with this and the 23/me I located my half brother, although my birth mother has passed also I am still searching for siblings on my fathers side. I highly recommend this to anyone who is unsure about unknown family background. After 54 years I finally have a brother I am getting to know.

I thought it was pretty cool. I liked the way it breaks down the DNA to percentages. Also the relative match is a cool feature. However it does say not detected as far as breaking down where your ancestors may have lived inside of the countries. But for $99 I would recommend this. I am going to try the ancestry one as well and compare.

We have had so much fun with this! We have connected with cousins that we have lost contact with. Learned a lot... we guessed before and this has confirmed what we thought . We are in the purest form... mutts!!!!!

My daughter has been wanting to do this for so long- she got one for me about 3 years ago- mine took about 8 weeks- I bought this for her on Easter-sent it in that week and she got her results on 5/4!!

Got this for my mom shes been wanting to know her family lines. She absolutely loves this, and how easy the entire process was as well as getting and understanding the results.
