Explore the depths of your genealogical roots and uncover surprising historical aspects of your family name using the iGENEA DNA test. Connect with distant relatives and share fascinating insights, all the while appreciating the journey of your ancestors.
I recently decided to dig into my genealogical roots using the iGENEA DNA test and the results were both surprising and fascinating. The process is engaging, simple and doesn't take more than a few minutes. I found out that my surname of Newberry has a rather intriguing history.
Tracing the heritage of the Newberry family back, I hit upon some startling finds. Primarily, I discovered that the roots of my surname reflect a rich tapestry of English and Scottish descent. Evidently, the Newberrys were early settlers in the British Isles, with some family members diverging into Scotland, while others ventured further, eventually landing in the United States in the late 16th century. This resulted in a fascinating mix of cultural influences that have subsequently shaped the Newberry name.
A remarkable feature of iGENEA is its DNA Match function, through which I was able to connect with several Newberrys from around the globe. Contacting these newfound cousins—distant and near—was an enriching experience. The sharing of personal family histories, anecdotes and photos has opened up insights that I never thought possible before this adventure. In fact, we've decided to create a Newberry family tree, which I'm excited to contribute to and see grow.
Furthermore, the report from iGENEA provided information about genetic markers unique to the Newberry lineage. It showed the age of our oldest shared ancestor, and the migration paths our ancestors might have taken. This gathered information has provided a visual way to comprehend the journey of my ancestors and appreciate their resilience and adventurous spirit.
In conclusion, the iGENEA DNA test is a treasure trove of personal ancestral knowledge, delivered in an comprehensible manner. My experience with it has not only stirred an interest in genealogy, but it's also given me a deep sense of understanding and respect for my ancestry, particularly under the Newberry name. The stories that are now a part of my awareness are a testament to the trials and tribulations, successes and failures, of those who came before me.
