      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

      After months of considering this test I eventually decided to give it a go. The kit arrived with clear instructions and the need to register online. After completing the cheek swabs I duly secured them in the vials provided and sent them off via the post office for an additional cost of £9.75 (tracked).

      Having previously read many reviews I was expecting to wait 4 to 8 weeks, but it took just 3 weeks before I could view the results online…

      I’m English born and bred, my parents are both English born and bred, as are all my grandparents, yet the results came back 47% English, 46% Scandinavian and 6% Iberian.

      What I did find fascinating were the three circled sections. The first inner circle is ‘Close Family’ of which there were one, my half brother (27.1% match), who hadn’t told me he had done the test so I wasn’t expecting him to pop up, but sure enough he was there. MH’s estimate was that this match was either a half-brother or nephew… Impressive!

      The second was ‘Extended Family’ and I found that I had a first cousin, once removed (5%) who I’d never met or even heard of before. I’ve left him a message and will update this again if contact is made and it is proven that we are in fact related. After my half-brother I have little doubt that we are.

      The final section consisted of 4996 matches showing people from all over the world that have a small match (1.1% or less in my case) which are stated as 3rd or 4th (or higher) cousins.

      All in all an interesting first step into the world of DNA and ancestry.

      Unable to activate tried to get answers from company useless waste of money as your phoning Texas would not recommend at all plus you cannot return it

      Ho acquistato questo test per curiosità ,dopo che un’amica l’ha fatto. Arriva in una scatola con 2 provette e 2 bastoncini in cotone, bisogna registrarsi dal sito dove si dovranno dare indicazioni su date dei propri nonni e genitori. Test facile da eseguire. L’articolo è arrivato nei tempi indicati e sto già facendo pubblicità ai miei amici….lo consiglio

      …even if you get sacked for asking anyone else about theirs.
      The kit gets sent of to Americee, but the results come back quickly and the price is better than other offerings. Of course, you get invited to spend more cash and to contribute to the massive family tree database, but you can duck that one and still are allowed to enter your own tree. They then send you tantalising messages about links to other trees but you have to pay to access those. It’s not too much though, and being able to link to others’ work may be exactly what you are looking for.

      Great

      So I purchased this for my Dad as a birthday gift, it was very simple to use and the results came back very quick.
      We were hopeful about what we would find out.
      Unfortunately it isn’t in-depth and at the minute we are feeling let down. We found out we wasn’t very English but infact very Irish – explains the crazy love for Guinness but sadly not much else.

      ****UPDATE****
      I do apologise. So we continued to study the results and my Dad contacted a couple of people he was linked with. We found out so much we have gone from hardly and family to lots of family in exciting places. It took my dad 4 days to find out about everything and everyone. Fantastic kit I recommend it to anyone who wants to find family etc. Best present I ever bought my Dad.
      Defo recommend it.

      Bought for my brother and he said the results are pretty vage and not quite so accurate as he would’ve liked.

      Great value

      Desconozco si esta prueba es 100% confiable… aunque si que ha identificado a miembros de mi familia. Te muestra el origen de tu ADN, a nivel mundial y resulta, cuanto menos, curioso saber de donde llegaron tus antepasados hace muuuuchos años.
      El procedimiento es sencillo y tardan aproximadamente un mes en mandarte los resultados pero merece la pena.

      UPDATED 9/4/19 following results. See below.

      In recent months I’ve bought a couple of ancestry dna kits. Each offers something a little different and together, the data and information returned is building a complex and fascinating picture of my roots.

      This kit is beautifully presented and if you were looking for a gift, it’s certainly quality packaging. The test itself is very easy to undertake. The kit has a unique identifier code and you need to register on the myheritage site in order to input the code and activate the test process. There are two vials with screwtops and two sterile sealed swabs. You open one swab pack and use the stick to wipe round the cheek inside your mouth for around a minute. Then drop the swab end into the vial, break off the stick and close firmly. Repeat for other cheek, then place both vials in the supplied bag and seal in provided envelope.

      The contents are returned to Houston, Texas (postage was £3.30 air mail). Results are promised within 4 to 6 weeks and I’ll update this review with detail of the information they give. So far, very impressed and believe the data will add to the detail of my family background. I already know my Haplogroup and subclade from another test, so this will, I hope, give more information about specific areas.

      UPDATE 9/4/19
      Results took longer than expected, but MyHeritage did keep me informed about delay (some systems upgrade).

      The data is very easy to follow and supports findings from other two tests. The ethnicity details are more refined than on Ancestry, with a lot of very specific data about European and Central American background. I’m impressed by the accuracy and even more impressed by a list of >2500 DNA matches by name and location. Various system tools allow you to identify relatives by country, ethnicity or closeness of match. Contact is free, access to their trees etc requires membership. There are three levels depending on what info you require. Currently, I’ve just used free contact to find out more info directly from individuals who are happy to help. MyHeritage has provided more contacts than Ancestry and there’s less American bias. Overall, I think this was a worthwhile investment and it’s added a lot of interesting background to the other tests. I’m happy to recommend as either a starter kit as a taster and potentially an invaluable tool for more detailed genealogy. You can upload raw data too.
