I used the 23andMe Ancestry Service DNA Test Kit to explore my Mexican heritage, and the results were both surprising and enlightening. I was excited to learn that a significant portion of my DNA is Native American, which deepened my connection to my roots. The detailed ancestry composition report provided a new perspective on my background. Additionally, I was able to connect with distant cousins through the app who are still affiliated with a Native American tribe, which has been a meaningful experience. The process was simple, and the insights were incredibly valuable. I highly recommend this kit for anyone looking to uncover their heritage and make meaningful connections. Daniel

 

I bought for the whole family! It was so fun to sit down and see how all our genes were split up. I was surprised with a lot of my DNA. It was great for the kids to understand where their ancestors are from, and give them a sense of self. I love all of the info on the app. Along with your ancestry report, it shows your health highlights and physical features, helpful articles, and much more. It also maps out the different regions of your ancestors based on your DNA. Great product! Cory miller

 

Excellent, accurate, insightful... I bought the kit because my son is adopted and then I thought, what the hell, Ill do my own because Id like to know how our DNA compares. I was fascinated by our ethnic compositions and was quite pleased to find that we are both 40% Italian and have similar percentages of other shared heritage. AND because my sister got her results right after me, I also found out that she is in fact my HALF SISTER and that the man who I had known as my father for 44 years is not my father and that my mother had an affair way back when. My siblings are my half-siblings and I may never know who my father is (thanks Mom). Better to know the truth about yourself than to live in darkness. Now begins the journey of finding the missing pieces to my personal puzzle. V.P. Gould  (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review .)

 

23andMe is much better than its competition, e.g., Ancestry. 23andMe includes both recent and ancient relations, whereas Ancestry includes only recent. It matches you to probable relatives and lets you chart your biological relationships. It enables you to text those people and discuss your known or possible relationships or anything else. The basic level provides a little booklet of your DNA profile and history that you can save as PDF or order a hardcopy to put on your coffee table. You can view it in a browser or in their app. And more. Plus additional options at additional cost.  W. Wolff
