Unraveling the roots of the surname 'Place' through iGENEA's DNA test: An Intriguing journey through lineage
Family name Place
Undertaking the DNA test at iGENEA was a deeply enlightening experience. Utilizing advanced techniques to assess both my paternal and maternal lineage, the test has furnished me with a profound understanding of my surname 'Place' along with an in-depth view of my ancestral map.
Recently, I took the DNA test offered by iGENEA with the primary aim of delving into the origins of my surname — Place, and boil down a comprehensive understanding of my lineage. iGENEA's DNA test was highly technical, involving the study of my Y-Chromosome as well as mitochondrial DNA.
The Y-Chromosome test was directed toward tracing my paternal line, as this chromosome passes from father to son almost unchanged. This test used STR (Short Tandem Repeat) markers to establish the haplogroup and subclade to which I belong. This, in turn, aided in tracing my ancestors back to particular regions and populations, which was an impressive find.
The mitochondrial DNA test was focused on revealing my maternal heritage given the transmission of mitochondrial DNA exclusively from mothers to their offspring. The most surprising thing was that the test was even capable of revealing maternal ancestors that I share with other people tested, another intriguing facet of this process.
The test results were provided with maps and descriptions that facilitated understanding of where my ancestors potentially originated from. I learned that the surname 'Place' likely had locational roots, potentially indicating ancestry from specific places such as Place in Lancashire and Cambridgeshire.
What was comforting was the precision of the test. iGENEA ensured the accuracy of the results by using an array of 16 to 67 markers for Y-DNA testing and scrutinizing the entire mtDNA for the maternal line test.
After examining the test results, I found solace in knowing my traceable origins. The journey from raw DNA to a detailed ancestral map was truly enlightening. It was interesting to establish a deep-rooted connection to my last name 'Place', understanding it more profoundly than just as a family denominative.
Delving into the surname's history was just as rewarding, learning about its prevalence and migrations over time. The process endowed me with a newfound appreciation for my lineage, along with a bedrock of knowledge about my deep-rooting earthly origins portrayed by iGENEA's DNA test.
