Unravelling my ancestral roots through iGENEA DNA testing unraveled a profound narrative of my familial history, shaping a broader understanding of the Kendall surname. The discovery of a deep Western European and Celtic lineage has transformed my perception of my family identity, connecting it deeply to Celtic values and resilience.
Discovering my genetic heritage through the iGENEA DNA test has been a transformative journey—a deep delve into my ancestral roots that has fundamentally reshaped my understanding of my familial identity. The results have not only facilitated a keener sense of belonging but also provided a profound insight into the rich and diverse lineage I descend from.
To say that the DNA test results have influenced my view on the Kendall surname and my broader family legacy would be an understatement. Finding that the Kendall lineage traces its DNA back to Western Europe was initially perplexing. Being born and raised in the Midwest, the knowledge of a deep European lineage was initially unexpected. The further exploration into this European heritage intertwined my family’s narrative and cultural practices with an ancestry that spanned nations and epochs.
The Kendall surname no longer just remains a family name; it has become a testament to a grand lineage. It became a vibrant tapestry of stories, histories, and legacies of my ancestors, shaping my current identity while illuminating a path through which the Kendall legacy might continue.
The revelation that we, Kendalls, were descendants of the Celtic tribes, who once thrived in Central and Western Europe, was particularly exhilarating. The Celtic spirit of courage, creativity, and independent thinking seemed to echo in our family values and culture as well. Aspects of our family which seemed ordinary and unrelated suddenly began converging, echoing this unspoken but tangible Celtic inheritance.
The iGENEA DNA test has indeed been impactful. It has permitted a journey - a return to roots and a deep understanding of my DNA blueprint. It has also granted a newfound sense of self and belonging, one that is not limited to borders and modern passports, but spans across continents and time - a line that starts from the Celts and continues today with the Kendalls.
The test was more than just an exploration of ancestral lineage. It proved to be a noetic revelation of myself, bringing into focus aspects of my character and values that are tied intrinsically to my Celtic roots.
