Great product and easy to follow instructions would recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking results!
I had always known that I was a multiracial black person but I never knew that I had 10 different ethnicities and that I'm almost as much European (and a few other things) as I am African. I guess this is true for a lot of black people who are descendants of slaves. We lost our connection to our African culture and our connection to our European ancestry was denied to us due to racial hatred so we were never able to really embrace other parts of who we are. (I realize that this is changing now because there are so many interracial relationships and more and more people are no longer tripping about pigmentation, but I grew up in the southeastern United States and I am in my 40s. I'm not an old lady, but I've seen my share of racial hatred and social/economic/cultural separatism.) Since I've always identified culturally as a black person, I've never really allowed myself to consider all the other things that are running through my veins. I am literally a melting pot of ethnicities from all over the world that includes things such as Iberian, Balkan, Syrian, Portuguese, Irish/English/Welsh, South Asian and so much more. I found that my African ancestors descend from Nigeria predominately plus a little bit from Kenya and other parts of West Africa. It's so funny that several years ago I met a co-worker who was originally from Ghana, and even though we were just co-workers and not at all romantically interested in each other, every time he would talk and tell me stories about Ghana (which is in West Africa), I felt like time was standing still and a few times I felt oddly emotional. Who knows? Maybe my soul knew I was standing face to face with someone from the very region of Africa where my some of my ancestors are from and that resonated at the inexplicable, far reaching levels of the soul. I am also part Native American. It was one of the best gifts I ever gave myself because I spent a lot of heartfelt time really considering all of the people that had to come together in order for me to be here. With love and sadness and forgiveness, I accepted that some of those "unions" may have been by force while others may have been by choice. I found a whole thing to be healing, cathartic, and affirming in a sense. I was able to research some of the areas where my descendants come from and really contemplate what their journeys might have been like.But truly one of the most shocking things is that I was able to prove the paternity of a half aunt who I had always heard of but who has been estranged from the family for more years than I've been alive. I have never met her. I knew her name and that she was said to be the product of a relationship that my maternal grandfather had outside of his marriage. For that reason, she was not called in to the fold even though she grew up in relatively close proximity to her other siblings. Some even expressed doubt about her paternity. Apparently, she had submitted a MyHeritage DNA test and her name popped up in my list of matches at the very top of the list as a close match. This thing was dead on. It said that she had to be either an aunt or great-aunt. Sadly, she didn't respond when I tried to reach out but this proves she is biologically part of us.I wouldn't mind trying some other DNA test from other companies to compare results and see what they come up with, but for my first foray into DNA testing, this was an incredible experience and I would recommend it to anyone!
5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy
Took longer then expectedBut got my results back in a little over a monthWould reccomend
4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good for the price
This is my first DNA test. I'll probably get a more detailed expensive one from them or another company, but this was a good basic start that gave me some interesting info. They emailed me about two weeks after I sent in my DNA to say they got it and were processing it, which I appreciated. I Got my results back in about 7 weeks. One week ahead of schedule which was wonderful. A nice touch were the graphics they used to show me my results. It was like a special effects movie scene were Bond is being briefed on his latest multi-national nemesis LOL, but not cheesy, just sleek, impressive and easy to understand. Not terribly in-depth, but gave me two specific countries and two basic regions of continents I am from. A few people who have some of my DNA/are distant relatives around the world have reached out to say "Hi" via the site (the company says they do not release your personal contact info), so that is kind of nice to. All things considered and the reasonable price a good first look tracing my ancestry.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be deceived by quick result scam.
Collect a cheek swab at home, it takes only 2 minutes and you'll receive your results in 3–4 weeks.Not quite, delivered and sent on the 3rd... it is now the 25th with no updates or status change... website says still in transit and allow 8 weeks or get sent another... You have to start over completely. Will update if anything changes but want others aware that this is not a fast process like implied. Other tests take less time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great company, great web site, interesting DNA test results
The kits arrived very quickly. I already did my own test on another site years ago, but I needed to buy more for other relatives. I like that they use the swab instead of requiring spitting into a cup. It's so much easier to do. Some people have difficulty with the other kind of test.I like the origin results I get from MyHeritage. Each site has slightly different results because they are based on others who have tested there. No one has examples of pure DNA for different ancestry, so the results will vary a little, but they should be generally the same. MyH is the first site to give me 3.7% Italian. (Must explain my love of American Italian food.)I also like how MyHeritage emails with matches and lists them for me, instead of forcing me to log in to see one or two new matches that might not even be very close. MyHeritage also shows shared matches so easily. And the results come up faster than some other web sites.The way MyHeritage shows a percentage of shared DNA is different than all the other sites and makes a lot of sense, the only problem being that we've spent years trying to figure out the centiMorgans and how to calculate relationships. So now we have to learn to convert that information.Some of the low star reviews are people complaining that they didn't like their results or think they're wrong. It's not wrong. It might be analyzed a little differently than on other sites. Or your research might not be your genetic line. Not so long ago, adoptions were big secrets, so there's no telling what your ancestry could actually be. That's what these tests can tell us.MyHeritage is the newest of the big genealogy companies to introduce DNA testing. They still have a way go to, lacking a chromosome browser, for one. I look forward to seeing where they will take the system.
3.0 out of 5 stars If you are Asian.
If you are from Southeast Asia you might not want to take this test. It doesn’t even tell you which country you are from. It said I was 67% Southeast Asian, but didn’t even tell me if I’m Lao, Thai or Vietnamese. Like I already know I’m southeast Asian. This did not help.

Sam produkt bardzo ciekawy i nie żałuje zakupu jednak spodziewałem się SPORO więcej!Mapka którą załączyłem to praktycznie wszystko co dostałem. Brak dokładniejszych informacji co do pochodzenia, brak jakichkolwiek dodatkowych informacji w pakiecie podstawowym. Większość funkcji dostępnych na stronie wymaga opłacenia abonamentu.Nie żałuję ale wybrał bym inną firmę jak bym miał jeszcze raz decydować o zakupie.Pozdrawiam
