Both of my estranged boomer parents did this, and 23andMe pretty much have my shit without my consent. Super cool!
They have every American's shit. Most Europeans too. Spoiler, if your uncle and your random ass 3rd cousin got tests done, then you also basically got a test done. They don't need every single detail to draw a rough "good enough" circle around like "people with these genes in their family aren't worth the cost."
Glad you got away from them, comrade!
In my case, my sister and my dad, but yeah. Truly amazing results: they have genetic compositions you would expect from any random person with their ethnic backgrounds! This information was definitely worth eroding the privacy of our entire family tree.
My sister did that shit and the only information it gave was our parents’ home country, which we already know because they’re first gen immigrants
They don't know which allele is which though, they don't automatically know what combination would be you.
They could only confirm that you're related to your parents.
