I'm more interested in family health history, but my brother is really involved with ancestry, Y Haplogroups, etc. In any case, there are so many additional projects that my brother is involved in and if we could get this for my dad, it would be so informative and answer a lot of his questions.

She was adopted from an orphanage in Seoul at the age of three. When I was born I was the first person my mother ever held that shared her genetic material. We're both in the dark when it comes to our heritage. I wanted to use the 23andme program to help better understand my ethnic background, but I'd also like my mother to do it so we could have a more complete picture.

For these reasons I'm particularly interested in discovering some insights about my own genome, understanding them and finding as much information as I can about these traits. But of course I'm also interested in my family history, since my ancestors are from all across Europe, from Poland to Czech republic and France... Part of the family has some history of colon cancer which is also one of the reasons why I really want to take the 23andMe DNA test! <br />(nico23 at stransky dot cx)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193278270309788574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876497.post-89598953503208462962009-06-10T15:06:44.398-04:002009-06-10T15:06:44.398-04:00Very cool!

I intend to use a service like Family Tree DNA to have my mitochondrial and Y DNA STRs sequenced for an even more in-depth look.<br /><br />I'd like the rest of my family to get sequenced with 23andMe eventually (my mom is getting her BRCA status tested separately, though).Beau Gundersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563487171257953906noreply@blogger.com
