I submitted my saliva 4 years ago and learned I'm almost all Irish from Dad and almost all Norwegian from Mom. December 2015, I notified 23&Me twice that I changed my email address.

No reply. In 2016, when I tried accessing my information, I was shut out.

Not to worry! I decided to buy another sample under my new email address. Surprise!

I'm British-Irish, much less Neanderthal, from Dad. From Mom, I'm Slovak and Eastern European, no hint of Norwegian, and American Indian, too! Since Mom's dad immigrated to the US in 1910, and her mom followed in 1911, it's a little difficult to be American Indian, ja?

I'm thinking of doing 23&Me again in a couple years to see if 23&Me says my family ancestors come from Mars.

Or I can just feed a couple hundred dollars into a shredder. Probably get better results.

Reason of review: 2 samples, 2 different results.

Monetary Loss: $1.

Preferred solution: First, fire your customer service techies. Second, hire accurate lab personnel who know how to process saliva samples accurately and consistently.

23andMe Pros: Explanations and survey questions, Classy presentation.

23andMe Cons: Submitting 2 samples and getting 2 different results.

I think the best ridiculous results were taken from identical triplets and all three had different backgrounds. Good grief, they should have had the exact same results. I wonder how accurate these results really are and based on your samples, not too good.Good luck!
