23andMe

January 2024 update: 23andMe customers were impacted by a security breach in October 2023 and as a result, 23andMe temporarily disabled some of their features. Too many people have tested at 23andMe to ignore their entire site just because a few tools are currently disabled. Even when we have to figure out some ways to work around 23andMe's changes, it's still worth understanding how their site works and how to analyze what you can there.

Customer Reviews

"I was really impressed with the FTDNA tour I just finished! I thought it was going to be an easy overview of all the buttons to push on the site. But it was truly an in-depth look. Thank you!"

-Candice Steelman

"I have just recently joined [MyHeritage]. I've had DNA on there for a while. I had NO idea of all the awesome features of this website. Frankly, I doubt I would have ever found them on my own. I highly recommend this course for everyone, whether you've been a member for 2 days or 10 years. Diahan is an excellent instructor and shows you exactly how to find each and every feature and how to use them. Thank you SO much for doing this Tour!!"

-Penny Blackwell

"I had already "clicked" around quite a few of the links that Diahan explains in this course, but she did take me down some holes that I had missed. I really enjoyed her straight forward and fun demeanor she displays as she teaches. If you're just starting your AncestryDNA journey, I would highly recommend starting it here. I think you'll find this course well worth the price and time you invest in it."

-Barbara Hutchinson

"I've taken a number of DNA courses but this one taught by Lori and Diahan ranks right up there at the top of my favorites. I found it extremely interesting and useful. The knowledge I gained prompted me to do more research and to reach a new hypothetical conclusion on an adoption case I've been working on for several years. I highly recommend this tour."
