I used 23 and Me and found the results a treat: knowing my varied ancestry confirmed some things I suspected and others that had been suggested. Anything that makes you look at yourself differently is a boon! Delighted to be a mutt with Asian, Middle Eastern Ashkenazi, Southern and Northern European dna! Now I understand why it has been so easy for me to identify with many people wherever I went around the world. Unless that happens to almost everyone, which is also possible.
It's an amazing trove of information. Though I'm not tracking down all the people they say I'm related to; at this point it would distract me from my work.
