I had the opportunity of taking the DNA test at iGENEA, a company well-regarded for their comprehensive and detailed examinations. This report illuminates the technical facets and precision of this test while bearing a lens on the surname ‘Janson’ which is a part of my ancestral lineage.
The DNA test carried out by iGENEA involves an autosomal analysis, implying it observes the twenty-two pairs of non-sex chromosomes that humans inherit from both parents. Moreover, it also includes an examination of the sex-specific chromosomes which offer the Y-DNA and mtDNA test. The Y-DNA test traces the paternal line purely while the mtDNA checks in on the maternal lineage exclusively.
The results were presented in a user-friendly format, illustrated with charts, coloured maps and graphic genograms. The report provided an estimated breakdown of the regions my ancestors originated from, in percentages. The valuable piece of knowledge from these charts came from the clarity it shed on the geographical migration and expansion patterns of my lineage.
Upon extensive research, the surname 'Janson' appears to be of Scandinavian origin, more precise - Swedish. iGENEA, therefore, analysed my Y-DNA to pinpoint the migration pattern of my paternal ancestors. The test was as illuminating as it was accurate. It traced back my ancestry to the Scandinavian region and further pointed out certain genetic markers that linked me to the Old Norse, the native people of Sweden, matching the historical path of my surname 'Janson'.
