I did it a couple of years ago when they had a sale on. If you have a pretty good knowledge of your family's history, there probably won't be any big surprises in the results.

As far as the health markers are concerned, none of them are decisive, so you don't have to worry about finding out you're going to get cancer and die before you're 50. You're not going to get anything like that.

Generally speaking, you'll have a better understanding of your genetic predispositions just by knowing your family's medical history.

It's interesting information to have, but unless you don't know any of your ancestors' information, you probably won't get any new information (unless there are skeletons buried in your family's past).
