Unveiling the Craft Ancestry: A Journey into Scandinavian Roots and Beyond Through iGENEA
Family name Craft
Embarking on a DNA testing journey with iGENEA, unexpectedly revealed a rich and diverse ancestry of the Craft lineage, exploring a trail that uncovered Viking and Jewish roots and direct ties to the Scandinavian royalty, reshaping the understanding of self and inducing a sense of pride in this complex heritage.
Ever since I started my journey with iGENEA, curious about my ancestral roots, I was eager to learn more, particularly about my Craft ancestors. To my surprise, the DNA test revealed that my ancestors were not from where I had always thought! It disclosed that my Craft lineage traces its roots back to Scandinavia.
Delving deeper into my ancestral past, I discovered my Craft ancestors were possibly Vikings! This revelation was certainly unexpected, considering my family had always claimed to be of English origin. This unexpected discovery took me on a journey through the Viking Age, learning about their lifestyle, traditions, and accomplishments.
Moreover, the DNA test also forecasted a significant Ashkenazi Jewish connection, hinting at a possible migration of my ancestors from Scandinavia to Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages. This enigmatic link between Viking roots and Ashkenazi Jewish lineage triggered a profound self-reflection, reshaping my understanding of who I am and where I come from.
Also, I unearthed a surprising fact that my Crafts bear direct genetic ties to Scandinavian royalty. This link, connecting me to such notability, has had profound reverberations on my perception of self and gave me an overwhelming sense of connection to these powerful figures of history.
These discoveries have not only reshaped my understanding of my ancestry but also myself. Realizing that my roots were more diverse and rich than I ever imagined, I now feel a sense of pride in my complex and noteworthy heritage.
My journey with iGENEA has indeed been transformative. It opened up unimaginable vistas into my past, changing my understanding of who my ancestors were and, consequently, who I am. Thanks to iGENEA, the Crafts are no longer just a series of names on my family tree – they are Vikings, Jews, and even royalty. They are, in essence, the sum of experiences and histories, beautifully woven into the fabric of my DNA.
