Comprehensive DNA Test at iGENEA: A Journey into the Past of the Grider Lineage
Family name Grider
Having embarked on a self-discovery journey, I took a DNA test at iGENEA. This all-encompassing analysis of my DNA traced the ancient origins of the Grider lineage back to Germanic tribes, through an engaging and comprehensive report. The exploration was enriching and offered a glimpse into a vast historical canvas that I am part of.
During my exploration into my familial past, I took a comprehensive DNA test at iGENEA, a biotechnology company focusing on genetic genealogy. This DNA test involved sampling of my saliva, after which the sample was sent to their lab for analysis. The iGENEA team examined specific regions of my Y-chromosome, which is passed on from father to son, and tracked distinctive markers or mutations that occur over generations. From this, they produced a detailed ancestral profile.
My DNA was carefully and meticulously analyzed to uncover the genetic markers unique to my family. iGENEA used Geographic Population Structure Analysis, a system that can accurately distinguish between populations that are genetically similar.
The resulting haplogroup determination revealed my deep ancestral origins, depicting not just where my ancestors lived, but also the historical events they lived through. My results were presented as a comprehensive report, enriched with understandable descriptions and interactive maps.
Moreover, matching our surname, Grider, with corresponding genetic markers brought a surprising historical perspective. The surname Grider is associated with ancient Germanic tribes. The high frequency of the Grider surname was traced back to areas in what is now modern Germany. Astonishingly, my genetic makeup exhibited significant links to these same ancient tribes.
The test’s accuracy is due to its expansive database of over 700,000 genetic profiles. The tools and techniques applied by iGENEA are also scientifically validated and comply with the standards of the international genetic genealogy community.
The result was not just a DNA report, but a journey into the historical and geographic procession of my ancestors. It has given me a sense of identification, context, and comprehension of the Grider lineage, bringing me closer to my ancestors. While my exploration began as curiosity, I now treasure this genetic heritage that marks me as part of a larger historical tapestry.
