Health & Ancestry Discovery Giveaway

I do not have a real clue as to my ancestry and have always felt something was missing. This would be a great tool to discover who I am.

I would like to know more about my background

I’m adopted and have no medical info about my biological parents.

I’d love to find out if there are any genetic markers for disease or inherited problems. I know some of my family medical history but only back to my grandparents.

I’d like to see where my DNA says I’m from.

Both my Mother and Father were ophrans.  They were left in Childrens homes in WV.  This would be really interesting for me.  I have managed to do some Ancestry by them knowing names.  On my mothers side I can not however because she is unable to remember alot. I would do it!

Family members have different opinions on family lineage.

It would be great to know the different races in my family. My family is mixed with a little bit of this and a little bit of that

I am adopted and have only have a vague idea about my ancestry and no medical info at all.

I’ve always been somewhat of a hypochondriac. Gaining more knowledge about my health will (hopefully) reduce some of my anxieties! Plus, it would be super cool to learn about my ancestry!

I know there’s American Indian on my mother’s side (my great-grandmother) and I’m probably the only one in my family willing to do this type of testing. It’s always good to know where you come from!

Have been told I have American Indian on my father’s side.  His mother died of brain cancer when he was only 1yr. old.  Many various cancers in his father’s side.  My mother’s father was adopted so don’t know much about that line either.  Would be very interesting to learn more and very helpful health wise.

Seems like every time someone tells me some family history it is a different story. I would love to know the truth or at least a bit more accurate truth.

I just love how science and technology comes together to improve our lives!  I would be delighted to learn more.
Excellent giveaway ~ Thanks for keeping us aware and informed.

Just want to know possible historical links to current maladies!

I am a breast cancer survivor and would have welcomed any forewarning by genetic information. Since my father was adopted in the 20’s with very little information on his birth mother and no info about his father, I have no genetic information about my fraternal grandparents. This would be invaluable to me and my kids and grandkids. Would love to win this!

Like others would love to know more about my history.  It stops with my mother who has never been “well.” Thanks for the chance to win. Yippee!

I am definitely interested to learn about our family history and lineage. We have been told stories, fables and tales. With this testing, we could discover the genetic truth.

I’d liek to find out some risks for my kids

would like to know heritage and mother’s family all died young, before 50, from cancer.

I would be interested to learn if I had any ethnicity unknown to the family.

With all the adoptions, divorce, step-parenting and “hush hush” in my ancestry, navigating it has been a real short journey - and no one seems to be interested in figuring it out but me!  I would love to know more about the generations prior to my grandparents.

This would be super cool. My dad was adopted .

I’m very interested in learning my lineage…I know something about my paternal side but very little on the maternal side.

I’d love to know whaqt my heritage is. My father was adopted, so I have no idea! thanks for the chance to win & finally find out!

don’t know family medical history

Always been curious about what parts of Europe my ancestors were from - would love to plan a trip to visit those specific parts of the world

I would like to know about my ancestors. I know my Grandparents names but that is it, and I have no knowledge of family history that I can pass on to my children.  I find that very sad and wonder why my families past was never discussed or shared with me or any of my cousins either.  We need to find out sometime where we come from, it helps give you a sense of belonging.

My families history of cancer.

I would like to find out more about my heritage and what potential health issues I may have, so that I can avoid these or be prepared to handle them.

I would love to see how far the technology has come and what I can do with the information provided.  It is also interesting to note where my ancestry may be from since I do not know.

I am curious about both my ancestors and the allergies that might have been inherited or passed down

Family medical history to be proactive with my own health

I would love to know my heritage and health issues. I am brown hair, green eyes and left handed. Everyone in my family is blonde hair blue eyes and right handed. Then there is health issues, should I be wary or hopeful?

There is a lot of celiac disease in my family and I’d like more information.

It might help solve a few broken links between family lines that we think are connected but can’t trace otherwise.

which side of the family I take after most.

I would love to find out more about my husband’s history as he is adopted and doesn’t know much about his birth parents.

I would love to know which countries my family originated from, I think that would be really interesting to know. The health information would be wonderful to have on hand.

I’ve always wanted to know where I REALLY come from.  I have heard stories from grandparents and Great Aunts and Uncles…but no one could ever definitively tell me where my true roots started.

I have had many tests and still no answer for much pain, etc. This might be helpful for me. Since I didn’t know my dad, I might learn a lot about my past.

I’d like to know for health reasons.

I think it’d be great to know this information. As the G.I. Joe show said…the more you know!

Family folklore says part of our ancestry is Native American. If that could be documented, my grandchildren could receive some student financial aid in Oklahoma.

I am interested to discover about my DNA:
- what percent of my DNA comes from each of 22 worldwide populations
- if I share an ancestor with famous figures
- what percent of your genome comes from Neanderthals
- understand genetic conditions so I and my doctor can tailor my health care and prioritize lifestyle changes
- my genetic risks for more than 200 health conditions
- my inherited conditions that can be passed on to children
- how my body might respond to certain drugs…

My wife did the 23andme testing a few months back, and she’s already been in contact with some previously unknown relatives. It was exciting when we checked to see if there were matches to her testing and if any of the matches got back in touch with her.

She also discovered a couple unknown medical conditions that her doctors are now addressing that will hopefully help her change her quality of life.

I would like to have the same opportunity to discover family links no one knew about, and address medical conditions that only DNA testing could uncover.

I’d like to find out more on my my ancestry.

My family has been slowly researching our ancestry, and know we are mostly of French descent on one side of the family.  But, we have no idea of our ancestry on our father’s side.  I would love to win this gift and get some substantive answers.
