Test Kit: Genetic Testing for Ancestry & Ethnicity Covering 2,114 Geographic Regions and DNA Matching to Relatives

"The most useless junk I've ever bought. 0% useful information."

It got refused by the post and sent back to me. Waste of money

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

Hice el test y, ¡estoy bastante sorprendida! Los resultados son súper interesantes y ofrecen muchísima información sobre mis orígenes y posibles conexiones familiares. Es increíble ver cómo se mezcla todo mi árbol genealógico de diferentes partes del mundo, y me ha dado un montón de curiosidades sobre mis raíces. Ahora, siendo honesta, no estoy 100% segura de la fiabilidad de todo lo que me muestran. Aunque los resultados parecen bastante completos, siempre queda la duda de hasta qué punto es preciso, sobre todo cuando se trata de coincidencias con otras personas. Pero, independientemente de eso, la experiencia ha sido fascinante. ¡Es como descubrir un pedazo de historia familiar que ni sabía que existía! En resumen, si buscas algo divertido y emocionante para conocer un poco más sobre tu genética, ¡definitivamente vale la pena! Aunque no puedo garantizar que todo sea 100% fiable, los resultados son, sin duda, muy interesantes y te dan una perspectiva única de tus orígenes. ¡Recomendado si te gusta explorar tu pasado!

Funkade bra

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!
