I have 1 important question to ask about 23 and me ?? Do you find your ancestry and 3. 4 5th cousins on the website after payment / dna is received ?

I think you should look at the National Geographic genetic testing program. I was not happy with 23andMe - the list of "cousins" they posted on the website disappeared and were replaced with other people. There's a lot of discrepancy with their informatin and they don't respond to questions about it. Just my experience.

Yes, you buy the kit, follow-directions for spit etc., send it in, wait (for a fairly long time if there is a backlog) and when processing is done all the results will be on the website. You can also upload your raw data file to other sites like GEDMATCH for more ancestry information. After you order the kit, you have access to the forums where you can ask questions, see wait times etc. I think this was your question versus how useful that information was, but I think if you are interested in Genealogy, you might want to consider one of the others...ancestry is best with GEDMATCH (free, uses existing raw data), I think.

I don't know. I did the test twice. While they agreed I collected my sample , they claim they didn't get enough of my DNA. I have absolutely no idea what they have done with either of my samples. I really do not trust them. Take the test at your own risk, but realize you forfeit any rights and they can do whatever they want with your DNA samples.

No. We found 23AndMe to be nearly useless and a complete waste of money. They would not consider our request for a refund.

We were disappointed with the experience. After answering their questions it was apparent this was more of a genetic "dating site" rather than science applications. Consider it to be "entertainment" and not what you would have expected.

I had this issue a few years ago and called Ancestry' customer service number and they extended my membership. Don't know if they still do this.

Yes, you can transfer all of your ancestry.com research onto the Family Tree Maker - pictures, notes and all.

I'm about to buy this and need that question answered too. If I get it before someone knowledgeable replies, I'll advise what I learn. Considering how awful my buying experience was here at Amazon using a Metabank gift card, I'm hesitant. But, I need to use up the gift card funds, so, here goes a second try. Think I'll email the vendor first, just in case.

There is a litlle extra space under "Married" where a 2nd or third marriage could be added but is is only through the 3rd Great-Grandparents then the spaces for other information from 4th and on back gets too small for much more information. I hope this helps you. (There is also a little space at the bottom of each section where infor. could be added)

July 19th here, still no information beyond "We need more time". I even canceled a pre-order on another site to make use of some left over gift credit here. I'm starting to regret that decision.

I too have been checking this same thing. I have found that all the version are the same and the price difference is only the length of the subscription to the ancestry.com web site and you get discounts on some other things such as DNA testing. The platinum version gives you 6 months of online access while the essentials version gives you 1 month. I already have an annual subscription with ancestry.com so the more expensive versions are not necessary.

Hi Jessica, yes I just checked and tried it myself, you can search by the letter of the last name; not only that but by first name only, by address, by phone, by work place, work phone, fax number, email, web sites, city, cell phone, by more than I would have ever thought of. To me in my humble opinion, this is by far the best program EVER!! Truthfully, I still have not discovered everything it can do. I hope you go on their website and see a demo (I believe they have one) and all the fabulous features available. Plus, even better, you can back it up to any device you wish. I have it backed up on a flash drive, in DropBox.com and on an external hard drive. The reason is I have lost so many important things over the years due to computer crashes and my neglect to backup my data, so as you can see, I try to cover all bases and feel no shame that I have 2 to 3 locations for things that are very important to me. Hope this helps you and have a blessed day.

Yes. To both questions. I had from England, 5 of same coin. ( My Sister lives in England, so have & go there quite often. In fact going there in 4 days again. Thus , I was not too pleased about that. 3 other coins I had 3-4 of same. In my mind I consoled my self saying I basically received 35-40 coins verses 50.

There is a thread on 23andMe concerning all this. Check the forums. I have received new matches throughout this ordeal, so I believe that your kit will be processed.

I believe the only difference between the 3 versions is the amount of included access time on Ancestry.com. FTM 2008 Basic is 1 month; FTM 2008 Deluxe is 3 months; FTM 2008 Platinum is 6 months. Now, if this full access to EVERYTHING (don't know if it is but since it says premium access, I would think so) I pay $300 a year for full access to both US and International records. If the premium access is limited to just the US, it's still $180 a year. Therefore, FTM 2008 Platinum, with the current rebate offered, is a great deal for 6 months free access that is worth anywhere between $90 to $150 in REAL dollars! And believe me, with access to those billions of records at Ancestry's web site, you are guaranteed to find many of your ancestors! I would jump at this deal if I could, but I already have a yearly subscription and I'm using FTM 2008.

you go on the website and fill out the information it asks for. i think mine was already linked since i bought them both at the same time. they don't send it for a week or so and you should have your phone by then so you can put the information, like serial number on the website.

Therese - We are first generation as well. Did you buy the lifetime plan? If you did you can move to the 2nd generation and not pay a subscription fee if you do it before July 23!

Before I bought my DNA I remember doing a bunch of research, I'm pretty sure it is already unlocked, and it is on a gsm network and SIM from what I remember reading. Just ask Google.. �

Did you get your question resolved? I don't have an answer just wondering if you gave your payment info when you checked out?
