Health & Ancestry Discovery Giveaway

Since I am in my 70’s, knowing who or “what” I am would also benefit my children re their susceptibility to genetic risks.  In addition, being aware of ancestral origins would be extremely edifying.  Thank you for this chance.

I’m in my late 50’s and I’m an only child. I truly believe I was adopted and back in the day, many adoptive parents didn’t tell their children that they had been adopted. I only had a baptismal certificate when I turned 16 & wanted to get a drivers license. My mom finally came up with a birth certificate but I never believed it was not “doctored up “. I really need to find out about my heritage.This 23&me; kit will open so many doors… and possibly close a few. This is why I feel I deserve to win.

If my Type 1 diabetes will become a problem for my young twins and what all they are susceptible to. I want to do everything I can to protect and inform them!

I was treated for breast cancer.  I had some genetic testing done and the results were not really very illuminating.  I would love to get more testing done so that I can prevent further cancer for myself and my family members.

I’ve tried to find my ancestors for years, with some limited success. What I really want to know, is if my husband’s family really does have Native American background. It’s hard to track down!

Unlike other people, I don’t know much about my ancestors. I barely know as far back as my great grandparents, but not where the families originally came from. I would like to know exactly what kind of racial backgrounds are in my family and, as others have pointed out, knowing about susceptibilities to specific illnesses never hurts.

My parents have both passed, I would love to know more about my past ancestors.

What does my future health look like?

I’d love to win this! My father’s family is Chinese going back to Mongolia and my mother’s family is European. I’d love to find out if their ancestors ever connected somehow.

Family trees and historical records can’t tell you everything.  This kit would give me more insight into my roots (and stem cells?).

Most of the males in my family line (I am active in genealogy) died by the time they were 50. At 60 (OK, 61 in a week), I feel healthy and vital, but always have the wonder if there is more I can do (and know to do) to make certain that healthy and vitality don’t fade too quickly.

I have some information about my ancestry back to my great-grandparents’ generation, but beyond that, it’s all a mystery. I would love to know with certainty what my lineage is, and what health conditions my genes predispose me to.

Knowledge is power - I want to know!!

I have begun to wonder exactly where my family really did come from.  I think it would a most interesting revelation.  My dad has been deceased for 30+ years, had no siblings, and his parents are also deceased and there is really no one to ask.

I would love to know what my future holds and change any habits now to make my future better.

Thanks for the chance to win

I am getting married next month, and plan to have kids soon. I am curious about my heritage, and I want to know about any potential disease risks for my children.

My relatives all have their own theory…am I part native american, part jewish, part German?

No one really knows!

I am very resistant to several kinds of drugs, particularly pain relief types.  I’d love to know if I have an innate resistance (in my genetic history) or any other possible causes that might be revealed.

I have been told we have American Indian ancestary and I would really like to know if that is true.

I have a lot of information about my family history on mother’s side. However, I was middle aged before I learned that the man I knew as “Daddy” was not my biological father. I’d love to know what hidden stories my DNA analysis might tell!

I’d like to see what kind of genetic stock is floating around in me!

Great opportunity

My dad has always claimed he is the “last of the Mohicans”.  I would love to know if there is Native American blood in our family tree!

My dad was a product of rape so I know NOTHING of his fathers side of the family. Diseases, causes ofdeath etc

I have some kinky black hair tucked behind my ears and know that most of my family came from the UK. Would love to have a starting point to find other possible links.

I want to find out more about my ancestry.
There’s a lot I don’t know.

I come from a wide spread family and we have no idea what all is in our genes!  I also would like to know if there are any genetic time bombs in my future

I would love to win. My mom’s side of the family is a mystery to us, I know my Great Grandmother came from a Indian reservation in Canada, but that is it. It wasn’t discussed and my mom didn’t admit to it until just before she passed. would love to know more about everything.

I would love to learn more about my ancestors!

I know I have some Native American blood in me, but there’s always been a debate in the family about what kind it is. I really want to know what kind it is and see if I can confirm my suspicions based on the geography of my ancestors.

I know my family has had many disease related issues but beyond myself, I don’t know what they are, as there is no one left to provide the information. It would be great to get some insight into my medical past, present & future, and what could possibly be in store for my children.

I would love to win this, I was adopted and know NOTHING about where I came from. This would be a great thing for me to do!!!

I’ve grown quite interested in my ancestry in the past year- even going so far as to begin looking at membership into the Daughter’s of the American Revolution, considering I have more than a few “greats” who were involved. However, my grandmother always told me that her grandmother was a full blooded American Indian and I have yet to find that connection. This would allow me to investigate if that was correct!

I have an interest in genealogy and would love to be able to find more relatives.

My family never discussed ancestry. Now they are all gone. Would like the info for my children and grandchildren

It would be great to know where my lineage goes!

We know almost nothing about our family ethnicity.

This would help greatly in focusing my geneology research.

This is just a super give away!
I would love to see where my far far back ancestors were from.
Plus I’d have new genetic info to help with my medical care.
I know some about my recent ancestors but one of them was adopted so know nothings about her.
I know I am Cherokee and Irish but wonder what else!

Hi,
I have breast cancer twice & 2 weeks ago had a third scare.
I’d love to know a little bit more about my DNA.

I would be interested in knowing about my risks for genetic health problems.

I would love to learn more about my ancestors!

I would love to find out who my ancestors were.My Dad left when we I was very young so I don’t know to much about his side of the family.

I have clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma, which can sometimes be genetic through a syndrome called Von Hippel Lindau. Perhaps this test will reveal something about that. No matter what, knowing what the future holds goes a long way in prevention and lifestyle modification.
