When I first decided to go through a DNA analysis at iGENEA, I wanted to learn about my heritage and find more about the Larsen family history. The entire experience was not only exciting but also enlightening, leaving me fascinated about my roots and my ancestors' past. My quest was primarily focused on better understanding the Larsen lineage, a surname that has been passed down in my family for generations.
The test at iGENEA provided comprehensive results after collecting my DNA samples through a simple and easy-to-use method.

Another fascinating thing that the DNA analysis unveiled was that a major portion of the Larsen lineage moved to America during the Scandinavian immigration wave of the 19th century. My ancestors were part of this brave group of individuals, who sought a better life and more opportunities in the New World. They were pioneers in their own right, which made me appreciate the courage in my ancestral genes.
Thus, the iGENEA DNA analysis truly expanded my knowledge of my family’s past and left me with a deeper understanding of my surname.
