Feeling a life time void
Finding a first cousin on my dads side was a God sent. He was the last of that generation. He was able to shed light on my grandparents from Italy. His older brother was the one that played with my dad when they where little unfortunately the two family split when settling in California. My blessing came when my son gave me this 23 & me to do my DNA. He sat with me talking to the Perri side I was scared as I did not know of my dad till my mother passed away. I was just 30 years of age. Met my dad but his wife and only two sons did not want to connect. Had secret meetings with my dad for 17 years till he passed. He tried & wanted to they did not. It hurt not to really share with my kids so I stopped. So this 23 helped me to connect with this cousin that filled in the missing links I needed and treasure dearly. Unfortunately he passed away in May 2021. What a treasure he exposed of my family. I never laugh so hard he revealed to me that the family where always having there secrets. That I was not alone. I pray one day to be able to visit Calabria Italy. Where my grandparents on my dad side was from. I still don’t know that much about my moms side especially the Spaniard & Portuguese side. My mom mother passed when she was 10 years of age. Her mom was from Mexico. So I really would like to know the rest of my story. Thank You for your good work. It’s been amazing. A 23 & Me follower.
Excitement Replaced Anxiety
I love that the 23andMe app does so well at explaining each step of the process from sending the kit out to how to use the kit and how each step after they receive the kit will go. It’s very upfront about expectations and lists them in easy and digestible ways! It walks you through each step! The app uses short videos, graphics, and written text to explain just what the 3-4 week wait is for. It demystifies the process and makes me feel safe sending my sample to them. I have used another service previously and it’s send the sample and don’t hear back for a month. For an anxious person like me, I want to know what are you doing?! 23andMe let’s me know each step of the process and makes the wait fun and exciting. You can do little questionnaires or connect with family members. I love that I can easily give or withdraw consent of my data by using the app. It creates feelings of trust and concern for the customer and I appreciate that! I wish I had used 23andMe the first time and not the other service but better late than never!
Love 23andMe
Such an amazing concept and the app update is incredible! They’ll send you a kit, all you do is spit in the tube they provide and mail it off. Super easy. I got my results super fast too. Thanks to 23andMe I discovered I have a half sister and surprisingly we get along great and we text occasionally and we follow each other on social media so I get to see her beautiful family and her adorable little children. Because of all the information my results provided I’ve also been able to adjust my diet to fit my bodies needs better (bonus: so far I’ve lost 30 lbs. by doing so).
The downfall: the kits are VERY expensive! But it provides a ton of information so it’s basically worth it.
I’m currently saving up to buy my mom the health and ancestry kit. She’s been struggling with her health so it could really help her and give me a lot of insight about myself as well. My goal is to get everyone in my immediate family on 23andMe, which might take a couple years since the kits are quite expensive but I know my family will thank me later.
