23andMe - DNA Test - Ancestry Personal Genetic Service

The package is thoughtfully laid out. The results are speedy once you submit your dna specimen (saliva) to the lab. Being from Europe I decided to give 23andMe a run for its money. I chose not to disclose my demographic information, and ship my sample to the USA lab for processing to see if it would still show accuracy in my lineage. IT DID. In fact the results showed where my DNA is most common in down to the province I live in. It knew my DNA was from different continents and went so far into detail it was scary. Gave me good reassurance that I know where I am from. I’ve thought about going to purchase the health discovery add-on, but that is a can of worms better left unopened… for now.

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.

This was the best couples gift ever! We loved it! We learned more about ourselves then we ever did before! Great product and it did not take long to get the results back. The app that you use for the product is very informational and fun! I have found out about family that I was related to that I never knew from all over the world.

Interesting product provided some interesting information. The results were not as focused as I expected seemed a little broad like a newspaper horoscope. Wort buying when it is on sale just for general information as a starting point if you are interested starting to research your background. Gives you a starting point,

Overall, I really love this product. It is great for showing you your ancestry and explaining it to you. The traits information is a nice additional touch, but I have found the health information of little use. This may be because I didn't have many positive markers and maybe it would be more useful for those who do. The DNA kit from rival Ancestry.com is a better choice for building a family tree and tracing your individual ancestors, as this function if very bad on this product. However, the Ancestry.com kit does not present your ancestry as a whole anywhere nearly as good as this product does.

What a great test. Good website easy to use. I like how they go in to details.

Daughter loved this. Very detailed. I'll buy again. It's fun to discover some of your past
